Cerakote color consult

Oh, I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS.

I'd run it for a while and see how the Cerakote holds up on that part. If it wears badly then there's no point in redoing it.

Yeah, I'm curious how it will work. The black looked almost chipped off, not worn off, so I'm hoping that maybe the application was faulty. Will see.

I'd vote for blasting the stainless barrel and leaving it "raw" with a matte blast personally.

That might be the best option since that's about the look I was going for anyway. I wonder if the plug and rod are stainless too? Have to check it out.

Looks fine, it will wear soon enough… can change then.

I prefer silver over bronze, but I don’t think it looks bad. I wouldn’t pay to have it redone until it wore, maybe not then even.

Very nice,
I would keep it the way it is. I personally like the Matt bronze look to it. JMO

I like it as is.

I picked this up a few days ago. It had what Wilson is calling a blackout treatment or similar, which meant coating the barrel, guide rod and plug, black. The barrel was looking pretty rough, so I cerakoted those pieces in titanium. It came out with more of a bronze tint than I expected. I don't think it looks terrible, but I still think I'd rather have something more silver. I think the picture is a pretty fair representation of the color.

Should I redo or leave it? I may shoot it some and then recoat when the 'new to me' wears off. What say folks here?
