[QUOTE="Wolf44, post: 2611912, member: 13895"] People need to remember that Cerakote and Duracoat are coatings just as IonBond and NP3 and NIB-x, while Tennifer/Melonite/Isonite/QPQ/Carbo Nitride etc are metal treatments. for comparisons [url]http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/testing/[/url] [B]Reality[/B] -- comparing one persons/shop sample to another isn't going to prove anything as there are too many variables, Even with NIC trained coaters/specialists. Those variable include the whole Prep Process, Spray technique and equip, curing capabilities/ovens/control, GEN of the compound and its mixed ratio…..etc Hopefully people will List their Coater and before/after usage pics - Like Harsh or others who have numerous samples to yield (well, if the owner wants to show and tell both after coating and after usage). Can judge both the Coater and the Product…. Cerakote vs Duracoat = Duracoat is softer and thus a more pliable option that worked better for polymers and other surfaces that flex'd = This was early on in the Cerakote genealogy for firearms applications. Which is why people sprayed the plastics and such with Dura and the Metal parts with Cerakote. Today's Gen of Cerakote has taken care of that gap... Cerakote, NP3 plus, Nitride are the top of their game IMO. [/QUOTE]
