Gunsmithing Few questions about applying cerakote

[mioduz]

When you pros are applying cerakote do you mask off the action threads on the barrel, or in the action, to keep the cerakote off. Or is the thickness a non issue. Also if spraying a custom 1911 do you mask off the rails or any internal surfaces for the same reason.

Re: Few questions about applying cerakote

Normally the rifle is together, Ive never had very good luck with torquing a barrel back on and having the cerakote not get a little buggered up. On threads for muzzle brakes, they will get a very light coat, hasn't been an issue so far. 1911's rails also get sprayed but very lightly.
