What cerakote color to match Bighorn DLC coated action?

[Chargerguy]

Can anyone please help me in what cerakote color to go with to match my action? I tried using the search function and had one hit for Armor black. Benchmark is ready to spin up my barrel and I just wanted to verify as I thought Graphite black was the way to go.

Appreciate the help!

Graphite Black I think or that’s what PVA shows as matching.

Another vote for Graphite Black at the 18:1 mix ratio if you are using H series. The DLC has a sheen to it that the Graphite Black matches well. I used it on the exposed metal of my Proof Barrel and it matches up with the DLC’d Mausingfield, they look like they have the same finish.

Edit: One last detail, I always flash cure at 180F before doing the final cure. If you go straight to a 300F cure the sheen of the end product will be a little different.

Great, thanks. I passed that info on.
