Metal refinishing options

[MJY65]

I have a 15 year old Remington 700 VSSF (308). It has the HS Precision stock (black/gray web). The barrel and action are matte SS. I'm thinking about having the metal refinished to something more subtle. Obviously, quick and cheap is rattle can flat black. Going up the line Duracoat, Cerakote, Teflon. Any I've missed? Opinions on best way to go for a hunting rifle?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm partial to rattlecan camo, myself. If you don't like it, strip it and try again. If you really can't get it to look decent, then send it off to be Cerakoted.

For like $75 you can have it re-blasted back like new; unless you are just wanting to paint it.

The finish is actually in good condition, just a little bright for a hunting rifle. I think black would be better than silver.

Duracoat would probably be the easiest if you don't have an oven to bake it in that would fit the barreled action.

If you're not looking to go cheap, Robar offers some nice metal finishing options (NP3, etc.). It might be worth hopping on their site and checking out what they offer.

How about nitride/ melonite?
