[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1191045, member: 1290"] My idea of good results is looking like new for life. Short of gouging or wearing down the base metal Cerakote is there. On the better gun plastic like polymer pistols it wears off sharp edges quick as the base material wears. It's the soft tupperware, wood and fiberglass rifle/shotgun stocks I really don't like Cerakote on. Cerakote is only as durable as what's under it. The catalyzed urethanes are more durable in those applications. On large items like stocks the urethanes hold up better at 1/4 the cost. We can also get webbing effects with urethanes that are impossible for Cerakote to do. I don't like baking stock materials either. Wait till you eat an $800 McMillan stock in the oven. I haven't done it but know of more than a few who did. I won't do cold cure anymore except for Microslick. That stuff dries in my equipment, overspray sticks to everything and is super toxic. Major headaches even through charcoal flyers. Can't be to good for you. One other piece of equipment that really improves Cerakote is a paint shaker. Shaking by hand doesn't compare to the mix we get fresh out of the shaker. [/QUOTE]
