[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 2310637, member: 22335"] I have used Satin Mag color Cerakote on floorplates, and it matches blasted stainless VERY well. It's an easy way to make a black floorplate into a "stainless" one. If you wanted to make a stainless rifle appear stainless using Cerakote, it is the one I would choose. Having said that, it's easy to touch up a bead blasted stainless rifle at any time. When bead blasting in stainless, it is recommended to use very fine media (Brownells sells it), low pressure, and not have used the media with regular steel or you may get rusting. I find it less expensive to have a local gunsmith do it than to buy the media and go through the hassle of cleaning out my blast cabinet when I want to do stainless. [/QUOTE]
