Re: Cerakote Over Cerakote
I also have the Husky, but it's the gravity fed that comes with two cups. I use the smaller of the two. When ever I'm not happy with the results, end up with a scratch, smear or any other imperfection, the finish is coming off completely. The color/hardener mix will never turn out exactly the same from batch to batch. It can be very close, but not exactly. That's a very good reason to mix more than you need for a complete job, and throw out a little.
As for taping, you can shoot your base color, flash it in the oven for 5 minutes, remove it, tape off what you want to keep, shoot the second color, flash again, and repeat process for a third color if doing three colors. These instructions came from NIC over a phone conversation I had with them last year. I have not yet tried it. I do know that 5 minutes in the oven dries it to the touch, but does not cure it to where the new color won't stick correctly. So the NIC instructions do make sence to me. They also said "do not apply new Cerakote over cured Cerakote. Good luck.
