I'm looking at getting a chrome moly rough turned barrel blank in the white. I was wondering what options would I have in terms of coating the finished barrel. Would cerakote be an alternative to blueing?

Cheers,

Moly Resin works great, I have used it for years and have had excellent results with wear and protection. On my next gig though I plan on trying some cerakote to see how it holds up in relation. Duracoat is ok but it goes on thick and looks like a paint finish. Moly Resin is thin enough you can put it on the metal under an AR FSB put the FSB on/ Take it off and the finish still look perfect.

Thanks for the replies,

I was thinking Cerakote as I can get it locally (Australia). But also interested in the moly-resin, it sounds similar to cerakote anybody used both and compared the results?
