Black stock Cerakote seeking opinions and examples...

[Member 34319]

Got a stamp back. Looking to Cerakote at the same time it goes off to get cut and threaded.

It is a nothing fancy blued gun. Blued receiver, blued barrel. All in a black polymer stock.

This is to be my sons learning rifle. Kids themed colors are not entirely out of the question. However, I'm not entirely sold on cerakoting the stock.

Looking for color recommendations and or examples of cerakoted firearms of similar nature.

Thanks!

I'm not really looking for anything crazy. While I respect some of the more involved cerakote work, I'm mostly interested in using Cerakote as a protective coating vs decorative.

Mostly just looking for input on colors that look good with a black stock.

Of all else fails, midnight blue, is my go to color as it replicates blued metal the best in my opinion.

Without irons?

Don't "theme" it up, it's not a toy don't do anything to take away from that fact. It sends the wrong message, IMO. If you want a "camo" finish or something along those lines, Krylon comes right off with a little elbow grease. Make it a project you do together.

Cerakote savage stainless looks good.
Titanium silver is a little darker I think.
Have both.
Titanium looks like a crayon to me.
Metal parts only. Synthetic frame is factory original "charcoal "

Tungsten cerakote barrel and action, black cerakote bolt, mostly black stock.

For now, red dot. Picture above was when I first got it. That type of dot say too high. I've since replaced it with something that sits lower. He can cut his teeth on irons later or on a pistol in time.

Definitely don't want it to be themed like a toy. If anything a tasteful blue that goes well with a black stock or similar. Not interested in spray paint really as this is a registered SBR. If I'm going to coat it, I want it to last and help protect against the elements. Which cerakote does best in my opinion.

Thanks for those that have posted examples. Seems like the search engines are really cracking down on firearm images lately. Searching for cerakote online seems to pull up less results than it once did.

@Knobgoblin can you take a picture a bit further back to show the contrast of that silver in the black keltec?

 

[Knobgoblin]

After work.
Pics of kel tec next to savage stainless (lighter color)
Frame of kel tec is charcoal, not factory black

Thinking blue titanium looks pretty good against black.

After work.

Thank you!

Man you can spend some time over there. Lots of very intrinsic cerakote work. Found this color. Keltec navy blue. I like it.

Fun fact: Cerakote is based in White City, OR, just outside of Medford. So it's not only a great project but supports an Oregon business.

On topic, I'm a fan of blue so I like where you're headed. For some color comparisons, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown Lite comes in a few colors with a black stock and might give you an idea of what it could look like.



Also available in a few other colors:








So many colors to choose from! Good luck! I'm sure it will look awesome whichever way you go.

I've done duracoat once or twice.
And cerakote 4 different colors.
You want to see it in person for sure. Pics are never quite what you get in the real world.
I had a flashlight done in either school bus or Corvette yellow to test the concept. It was $30 or so.

Lol.
Is that yours?
I threw a Brownells receiver and upgraded bolt w/extended ultralight charging handle in it.
Runs great with everything so far.
Haven't tried induced failures yet
