Cerakote AR15

[jelenko]

Does anyone provide cerakoting service including an AR 15 lower? I'm looking to use just one color.
If not, any recommendations?

Thanks

My buddy did my two rifles using Dura Coat. You can do your own. Not that hard or complicated. It needs patience.

Means you do cerakoting as a service?

No.

I meant to show how it turned out. You can do it yourself.

Thanks!
Honestly, I know my strengths/weaknesses. I'm wanting to have it look good

The orange looks great
I’ve contemplated trying it myself as we have a few big ovens at work I can easily rack parts in.

The DuraCoat does not need an oven.

Yeah - It's the prep to ensure a good finished look, applying the material so it's even but doesn't drip and handling the parts so the coating isn't disturbed.

Seems like that would go a long ways toward avoiding "evil black gun" status. I find that to be totally inoffensive and even soothing to look at. jd

Yeah. I use the rifle for high power 'cross the course' competition. Right now, the buttstock and handguard are red, the upper and lower receivers are black - which is a nice look.
But, I'm thinking to cerakote the upper and lower to Titanium - which is a nice gray.
I think it would look sharper.

Krylon in a can. Simple. Recoat as needed. Dont let perfect get in the way of good enough.

Ps, I send mine to Bc'z

One of my favorite guidelines.
Trust me, I know my results.

I've used the rust-oleum black appliance epoxy spray on several parts. Easy to apply, just follow the directions, then I bake it in a 400F oven for about 45 minutes. It goes from glossy to flat, and turns hard and wear resistant. They have a stainless steel finish as well. Probably not as good as Ceracote though...
