Proper prep is time consuming and requires expensive materials. It is not uncommon for a non certified shop to cut corners. Be wary of any shop that is not certified. They may have good looking results but if not factory trained and obligated to adhere to proper surface preparation the durability of the coating will suffer.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Those were the only guys I knew of and they aren't exactly closeby.

Cerakote is a professionally applied ceramic based coating. It can be applied to plastic and metals. It is far and wawy the most durable and weather resistant finish you can get. The cons ar once applied the only way to get it off is with an abrasive blaster.

You can read up on the product and see many samples in the gallery here. Cerakote Firearm Coatings: Home

Thanks for the info! OP - sorry to thread jack you!

I have to agree with B23 I have had some stuff done by the Carlock's and everything they do is top notch. Their Cerakoting is no exception!
