[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1190777, member: 1290"] The gun and compressor for running it is a very small part of success with Cerakote. A stainless acetone soak tank with a lid and drain valve will be needed. Spraying or just wiping down your parts is not sufficient. Then the most important part is a dedicated blast cabinet big enough to handle a barreled action in. Sterile aluminum oxide in 100-120 grit is needed to keep from contaminating your work and getting the crucial surface profile for the ceramic Cerakote to lock into. Then an oven that has good controllable temperature to gas out and cure you finish. Done right Cerakote has no peer. Do it wrong and it's just expensive paint. If you read the instructions it tells you the steps needed to get the best results. I would not use Cerakote for plastic, fiberglass or wood stocks. Good urethane paint works better for that.
