These (Blazin Hydrographics) are also the people Velzey uses for Cerakote. I had then do sone work for me and it was perfection, fast, and reasonable. They perfectly matched new uppers to lower receivers I had Cerakoted over ten years ago by another shop, includince the matte finish I wanted. I could not recommend them more highly.
 
Texted w @luckys and he is still doing cerakoting :s0005:
I appreciate the input guys!!!
Always nice to have a stocked shelf!!!
 
I recommend Duracoat over Cerakote; Cerakote is brittle and chips. I've applied both coatings and wouldn't use anything but Duracoat on a machine part.


These guys would disagree.

"For chemical, wear, weather, and scratch resistance in a thinner, more even layer, Cerakote applied by a certified applicator is the way to go. DuraCoat is a quick and easy "at home" process that produces results (when applied properly) comparable to high quality paint, and it takes forever to fully cure, which means you won't be shooting for a while."

They are 2 different animals. Duracoat is colored epoxy resin. It is not like a paint, way above that. It and cerakote are pretty much the top end, but they each have their own pros/cons.
 
I have an AR in .300BLK that I sprayed camo with krylon. It looks really good, but durability is what you expect. Since it's camo, I don't care about scratches.
The Glock I carry every day is rattle canned. Haha

3-6 week cure time with Duracoat is a big negative. I have a few firearms that were cerakoted and they have been very durable and "wipe clean".

Don't you know you're supposed to be going for the "battle worn" look….. How are you gunna get there if the coating is durable? Hahaha.
