Ceracoated mine...looks great. I it will need to be touched up after awhile. I saw noticable wear around the 500 round mark or so... YMMV.

Cerakote looks and feels pretty good. Does wear, but it still does its job for a couple years. It will keep its color and protect the metal from oxidation.
If you can, wipe it down with a silicon rag and keep dirt out. It will run smooth and not wear much.
If you're in a dry dirty area, keep it bone dry. The Cerakote is smooth enough to feel smooth when you work the bolt. It will wear more dry, but dust wont stick to it like porous bare metal.

sure; 600 grit sandpaper and some Krylon; it's good to go.

Let the Krylon sit for over a week though.
That stuff gets harder over time. I think it says two weeks until completely cure on the can. Or two weeks until scratch resistant. Something like that.

You're right, AZ. I was being just slightly sarcastic but while it's not as good as Duracoat or other coatings, it's 4.25 a can at Wal Mart, and if it scrapes off, you just spray some more on.
