I haven't found anything that will take Cerakote off. Cerakote stands up to acetone and carb cleaner.
 
Re: Going rate for cerakote

Thanks for the link. I may be contacting one these fine gentlemen to cerakote my barreled action for me. I may even try Aluma-Hyde II. It's a bench gun so it basically just needs to stand up to harsh bore cleaners.

Greg just did my Blackout and he did an outstanding job on it! Will try to post a pic later.
 
Re: Going rate for cerakote

Here's the only decent picture I have, but again, kudos to Greg on the job (note: I literally just got the bolt back about an hour ago from Keith (AZPrecision), but Greg will be doing it as well.
