STIGUY Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Would like to get a Rem 700 Stainless coated to add some corrosion potesction and to "darken' for hunting purposes. What is the best for durability and wear resistent purposes? Really would like to get this done locally and not worry about the sending the gun "out" for this.

EkuJustice Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Cerakote. I have had a pistol done in both and duracoat rubs off pretty quickly on the corners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbagum Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 In my experience Cerakote has worked way better. I have a slide finished in Durakote and it hasn't held up very well; a different slide finished in Cerakote seems virtually scratch proof. I know it could of had to do with who did the work but my experiance with Durakote makes me not want to go that route again. My Glock Slide done in Titanium Cerakote looks great and is really holding up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsydlooknin75 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I would suggest taking a look at Greg Ballard's website, WWW.ontargetcustoms.net He has done some painting for me and us an ffl holder so shipping directly to him is not a problem. Just look at the rifles and such he has in his website for some of his work. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack T Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have been using Cerakote (Oven Cure) for the last two years with over 100 applications to shotguns and pistols and it is an excellent coating. I have found that not every color has the same durability, some have the same wear resistance as Durakote, which isn't very good. Graphite Black, Sniper Grey, Smith & Wesson Red and Stainless Steel have excellent wear resistance and these are my primary colors. I am sure there are many more which are durable, I just haven't had the need to use them or try them yet. I have not had good luck with some of the desert and OD Green Colors.

lumpygravy Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have a gun in Graphite Black CeraKote (oven cure). I've noticed that like painting wood, sharp edges don't hold well. On mine, the front edge of the slide just past the bushing is wearing from dry fire practice. The rest of it seems to be fine. If I ever get it redone, I'll have to break that edge and look for any others first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have used both. Proper surface prep is key. Ceracoat held up better than duracoat but even it couldnt withstand repeated kydex dryfire practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonshooter Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 http://www.cerakote.info/2011/07/extended-wear-test-on-personal-sig-p228.html Just finished posting my EDC on the website. Will give you an idea of what to expect from Cerakote. I'm going to do the same test with KG Gun Kote next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpipe95 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Of the two you listed cerekote is definitely stronger, and handles heat and chemical exposure better. Though my personal favorite is molly resin. No mixing, tough as nails and very easy to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
