Whats the best cerakote color to paint my barrel and metal? I have a Mcmillan A-5 Desert Camo stock. I was thinking of the Coyote tan. I was wondering what color to paint my muzzle brake( Badger FTE). Paint it coyote tan with everything else or black?
If anyone has any pics they could send me i would appreciate it. Thanks
 
Re: What Cerakote color to match stock?

I'd go Coyote tan. If you have it done with C-series, you can make your own custom color by mixing coyote tan with... anything you want.
I'd do the brake the same color as the rest of the rifle. But I'd do something a little different than just coyote tan. Like 95% Coyote Tan and 5% Military black to darken it, or anything you can think of.


Have fun!

I want a USO.....



oh and I dunno if you got what I meant but I didnt mean Id make the brake a different color, I just meant I make the entire rifle one custom color. Probably a tad darker than Coyote Tan.

have to come up with how much a tad is by trial.

That looks nice, matches the stock well. I did my rifle in Brownell's Coyote and it matches the stock well, but it matches the greener shades.....down the line I may have Keith cerakote mine tan if I don's sell/trade the USO
