[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1090678, member: 1290"] I guess you will find out first hand for yourself. Sorry we weren't more clear. I didn't answer your question at all. If it's not too late Cerakote is professional product for people who demand the best. It goes on .0005" to .001" thick. It great for firearms with tight tolerances. Being made of ceramic beads it is impervious to most chemicals and acids and is very resistant to damage. You have to damage the base metal to mark it. We use it inside and out on most firearms. It's the factory finish on many firearms built today. Duracoat is a DIY product like paint so it's available in many colors and is easy to apply with only a fraction of the durability. It goes on .001" to .008" thick and gets glossier the thicker it is applied. It is not suitable for moving parts. It's chips easily and is subject to many chemicals. It's just a tic more durable than simple bluing and not much better at corrosion resistance. Simple Rust-Oleum is probably better.
