Re: CERAKOTE VS DURACOAT THOUGHTS PLEASE
Duracoat will not last, cant stand the Mil-Std-810G reqs. It is easy to use and looks good. But not much more than that.
On the other hand, if you dont know what your doing, you can apply a bad coat of Cerakote and want be in much better company of than a pretty gun.
For my $$, go with Cerakote, but learn to apply it right

Been about 10 threads on this same question.
Cerakote is far more expensive but better. Takes more equiptment to apply too.

You can look up the ratings for Cerkacote toughness.
They show the salt water spray test, scratch test, etc.
Not sure if Duracoat offers that info though.

WickedFish,
I am planning on Cerakoting one MP5 and Duracoating another MP5 and run them about the same amount. I am already pretty sure of the end result but since I am anal retentive, I am going to do it anyway.
It will probably take about 2 months to get them both finished as they are for fun and I am swamped with real work.

Use C-series DarinR.
It's for full autos. Handles MUCH higher heat

Thanks Keith,
With the MP5's being only 9mm, I didn't believe they would get too hot for Cerakote H Series. You are finding that the H series can burn off or blister in the 9mm subguns?
Thanks for your input!
