CERRACOTE

[Igiveup]

Has anyone had a revolver cerracoted? I have a 10-7 that was one of the imports without a barrel. I put a 2" barrel on it and now would like to refinish it. No gunsmith left around here that does hot blueing, but a shop here does execllent cerracote. I was just wondering if there are any downsides to doing this.

Here's a Model 64 DAO that had its 4" barrel replaced with a 2" from a Model 12 that failed to live up to someone's expectations and some other custom work, including Cerakote. Came out great.

All work done by TheShootist1894 on this Forum (in 2016).

I don't see any kind of a downside!

I've had cerakoting done on various guns. My advice on carbon steel is to have it parkerized first and then cerakoted. It is so much more durable as the porous surface acts as a primer and helps the cerakote stick better. If aluminum or stainless since those can't be parked rough them up with 120 grit garnett media and spray.

Here lately I've been having guns parkerized and kg gunkoted or kg kphos (phosphate coating) and kg over top of that.

Defintiely agree with tnmandp's posts above mine. The parking would be a much better, 'grabbier' subsurface for the shake 'n bake spray/s to adhere to. Once they wear off, which they will readily do, then you have the protection of the parking underneath it.
