Whoa! You can get Cerakote glossy? I thought you could only get it as a matte finish! That looks really great! Is there a color in gloss that looks like a blued finish? That would be awesome!I had my S&W 5906 frame done a while back.
I polished the slide for a two-tone look.

With my custom Tauris holster:
The color I had done was as close to a blue finish as I could find. Depending on the light it looks black or blue. The color looked nicer on a shotgun that they showed me but came out a bit darker on my pistol.Whoa! You can get Cerakote glossy? I thought you could only get it as a matte finish!

In those pics looks black to me. Still very nice though. I guess it's not possible to duplicate that deep blued luster in paint. I do love me a blued finish. Funny given that blueing is about the least durable finish in a thread about probably the most durable finish.The color I had done was as close to a blue finish as I could find.

Different lighting also makes it look glossier some times more than others.
Id like to do my Mossberg 500.
I absolutely hate bluing.
I hate it so much that 20 years ago I used that cheap ass camouflage duct tape like gun wrap on my turkey gun.
After 20 years its still securely covering the gun.
It's a Mossberg. He can just buy a new one.And probably rusted to hell underneath
Probably but it still works great. Just got a turkey last Fall.And probably rusted to hell underneath
The one I wrapped is one of those $70 New England Firearms single shot 12 gauges.It's a Mossberg. He can just buy a new one.
from the shop here .. duracote .. what they do .. not sure if they will just take in a gun and paint it .. they will mine but i know them i just have to get that old Ithaca single shot 20ga stripped down and take to them ..
That has to be Cerakote, especially the flag and battle worn. I can’t see anyone using DuraCoat for those, way too thick and can’t be thinned out. It’s all I used before Cerakote came out and there is no comparison on any level.
they only spray duracote , my best friends wife works there .. and he is now spraying paint when he can to help out ..
Its sprayed on. There are air cured and oven cured versions with the latter being the tougher finish, but not every application can be put into an oven so.........I know nothing about this process. Is it painted on, airbrushed, dipped? How do you get the special lettering and designs, do they come as decal's? Interesting!!!
Definitely has a nice look to it and it seems the only limitation of design is in the imagination of the applicator.
