I'd also be concerned coating the bolt would lessen the slick feel and would probably either leave the bolt alone or look into micro slick coating for the bolt if it was mine.

I haven't had any of my tikkas coated though, only a Remington and a rugger 77. They weren't slick before coating anyway. Someone whos done a tikka bolt before may know better than I do..
