Anybody do gloss cerrakote?

[butchlambert]

The Cerrakote folks say that one of their products h I have a barreled receiver that is CM and SS. I want it to look like a gloss black. as a gloss.

Butch,

They do have a gloss black cerakote that would probably look pretty good if you are trying for a classic blued look. I have purchased a large bottle of it to coat a british rifle I built in 30-40 Krag, Just haven't gotten around to coating it, But I want it to have a classic look to it that's why I bought the gloss black Cerakote.

But they do make one that looks really good gloss black cerakote. I had it put on my uncles 6.5/55 and it's hard to tell the difference from 2-3 feet away. Once it's in your hands you know it's not blued but it still looks really good especially against a nice piece of high-end Walnut that I put on his.

I believe the cerrakote folks called it the"H"type. It may look good in the wood that I sent to you. Hopefully it will quit being shipped around the World. Now I will need a guy to do the cerrakote on it and 1 other for one of Wyman's rifle.

Wyman's is a 6.5PRC on a 700, Shilen trigger, and barrel with a factory wood stock. Mine is a Stiller receiver, Shilen trigger, Shilen barrel, 3 pos safety and a piece of nice walnut from Dave Tooley. No photos yet.
Time to water the flowers so the deer have something to munch on.

if you are trying for a classic blued look.

Closest color to hot blue is the E-110 Midnight IMO. Looks amazing.

Carbon Black is generally what most folks say comes closest to bluing. I have used it on the McSwirly walnut and it looks classy but not bluing, my 2 cents.

I’ve also used DFW Gun Coatings in the warehouse area of north Garland. He does good work.

The gloss black is pretty glossy for sure. It will depend on how they mix it and what temperature it’s baked out at as that will effect the gloss level as well.

Butch this what I had done. It looks great with an oiled walnut stock. I will try to get some pictures here soon. I cant believe one got out without some pictures being taken. I just wish I had some of your picture taken skills.

Sorry Butch, I couldn’t find this picture last nite. This is the Carbon Black I mentioned above.

Built this rifle for a buddy for an Africa trip .416 Hoffman. Glad he’s on the back end of it and not me

 

[butchlambert]

A beautiful chunk of lumber and looks really good with the action too.

Sorry Butch, been at work all day and they have these evil gun sites blocked (rolling my eyes). I thought he was pretty close to you.

No, I don’t do this…Scott is doing all my cerakote work. He’s also got a laser and can mark barrels. Cerakote is the only thing I’m not doing. He’ll take good care of you and he doesn’t dilly dally around. He did that rifle above and has done others for me. He has been spot on with the things he’s recommended me doing. Example…he said I should do micro slick on my bolts. He was dead on and it made a difference on the custom actions with tight tolerance, like Stiller, Kelbly and Defiance.

Here’s one I picked up last week:

That brown is two brown colors mixed together to get a specific shade my customer wanted.

Thanks, it’s a classy look but that’s a fiberglass McMillan mcwoody stock. I tried to get them to put the old Ruger orange recoil pad on it but they’ve quite offering those pads. That’s the only thing I would’ve changed.

 

[butchlambert]

Wyman's has been melonited, bolt that is.

Butch a color I spray on a lot on rifles I build is cerakote elite blackout. It’s a slicker finish and has a little more shine than the H series. The barrel and bottom metal was done with that color as the action Is BAT’s type 3 anodized
