Not to say that that Ceracote isn't a durable finish , available in a modest number of colors , but DuraCoat has got many hundreds of colors to choose.

Whats the difference?

 

[andimorony]

Get the parts, color them the way you want them, then throw everything in a box and take it to our very own Clandestine. Chad is a gunsmith and does great work.

Now THAT's a plan! Love it! Thanks Teratos!!!!

Are you a Ravens fan?

sent from somewhere in the world.

 

[andimorony]

Redskins through and through!

 

[Pinecone]

Cerakote is a bit more durable that Durakote. And both more so than K-kote.

But they are all good.

Heck, you can do it with Rustoleum rattle cans from Home Depot or Lowes. And change it as your mood changes.

Or match your nails.

I can say that, as one time my wife matched her nails to her car for an event.

Well there's your theme.

CeraCote has ceramic particles added , and is stronger in the absolute sense. DuraCoat is slightly more flexible, and if properly prepped first is less likely to chip, and is still plenty durable. Cera has several dozen colors ,with substantal portion being closely related shades of black , silver , and bronze. Dura must have close to a thousand colors , of all spectrums of the rainbow , including exact matches for popular factory firearm finishes , every accesorry mfg , every obscure camo colors both mil and hunting , and several tractors.

Rattle can spray paint and BBQ grill paint actually do well , so long as you realize they do wear , and need touchup. But then at $4.95 a can you can touch up often.

Okay....she painted her car to match her nails? Really?

So it's really just a matter of finding a "guy" who can do the pattern I want for Dura or Cera cote?

 

[Pinecone]

No, she had her nails done in the same color as the car.

 

[andimorony]

No, she had her nails done in the same color as the car.

Oh well, THAT makes sense to me

 

[Biggfoot44]

If you check Dura Coats website they have listings of certified applicators of both Basic , and for Advanced (typically comples camo patterns , but the skill set would be for any complex , multi color project).

Dammit! I go away for a weekend and miss Andi asking AR questions. Grrrrr!

The only thing that I have to add that hasn't been covered at length is this:

If you're not doing your own build, buy your rifle, shoot it some, and then tweak the ergonomics to fit you. (Stock, grip, forward grip, etc.) Once you get it suited to you ergonomically, then get it all prettied up with whatever finish you choose.

But that's just me, and I'm a "function before form" kinda guy.

LMAO, Ben!

I can tweak the ergonomics at any point, right? The point of being able to build my own (or have someone build for me) is so that I can tweak it at any time, yes?

Absolutely. But in my (limited) experience, you're far more likely to ding up a rifle while you're getting used to it, swapping out parts, etc. It just seems to me to be a good idea to get that out of the way before you put your nice finish on it.

Makes total sense to me!

 

[Hopalong]

Makes total sense to me!

I've been known to do that on occasion.

 

[Pinecone]

Of course, the other side is, if you mess something up, it gives you an excuse to change the color/scheme.

 

[andimorony]

Roflmao!!!

Wait....I need an excuse? ;-)
