Not a real fan of the stainless on my new 5R and trying to find a fix for that. I do like the stock, however, I would not be appoosed to coloring it to match the barreled action. Anyone have any pictures of one they have had cerakoted or anything else. Just hate to get it done and not like what I end up with.

I sent mine in to Walter Birdsong to get coated in Green-T. He is backed up about 90 days right now.

KYLON is the fix for now, and having coated is the fix for later.
Put seriorly if you take your time with KYLON you can get a good finish on it. Take the action out of the stock remove the trigger and place it in the oven on around 200 for a little while and core the paint should hold up better than air dryed.

Thats a nice looking rifle. I don't know that I am brave enough to hit a $1000 rifle with Krylon myself. I guess if I f'd it up it comes off fairly easy? I like the OD Green on the metal though. How do you apply the gun coat? I looked into having a couple places doing a camo cerakote but I hate to send my rifle off for 4-6 weeks and $400. I can reload a lot of rounds for that money.

The krylon comes off very easy I put a coat of OD Krylon fusion (camo paint) on the barreled action of mine and its holding up fairly well and cost me $4.00

For what some people are paying for 1 coating job I bought all the tools, coatings and accessories to do several weapons and still have $$$ left over...
There is a lot of prep time involved so I can see where some of the coaters are not making much profit charging what they do. Spend some time reading and you will not have any problems. You can learn all you want watching the Brownells videos.

Re: Remington 5R
Can I oven bake a barrel and action? I was looking at more along the line of the cerakote air dry after doing some research. I was not sure about oven baking it. That and I dont think my oven is even big enough for it to fit in.
