Firearm Coating

[DONT TREAD ON ME]

Is there anyone here that does or knows someone that does firearm coating (Duracoat, Cerakote, NP3 etc.) in the San Antonio area?

Thanks!

Can't help you with SA, but I can tell you is easy to do yourself.

Here's my learned-the-hard-way top tips:

1. measure and mix it correctly
2. degrease and degrease again
3. let it dry a WEEK before touching it (bake it the oven for about 30 minutes at lowest setting)
4. do a second coat after a week and don't even TOUCH it for another week

good luck

doc540,
Thanks for the reply. I would love to do this myself but I do not want to mess it up.

I had the same concerns, but you really can't "mess it up" so badly that a shop can't easily fix it.

Practice on anything metal before you actually apply it to your gun.

Good luck!
