i'd say after. adding a layer may affect the perfect fit of your bedding job. even if its just slight.

Before, If you can tell the difference of .001-.002" then worry about it. But you have to look at what the pro's do...and they bed before!

Mainly by running the chance of scratching the coating during clean up.

Scratch it, really?
If I can't beat the damn shit off with a hammer, you certainly aren't going to scratch it with masking tape, WD-40, toothpicks, plastic straws, Q-tips, and/or popsicle sticks.
Hint.....

The HS Precision stock is a nice easy one to bed with its alu bedding block. I'd say the logical way would be to have it cerakoted first and then bed it taking care to tape off and prep the stock prior to applying the devcon. When I did mine I just bedded the front area around the recoil lug and the rear tang to create two pads of contact. Looks neat (not that you can see it!) and works well.
