Thinking of having my rifle coated and I can't decide which color cerakote. I am currently torn between armor black and tungsten. If you have a cerakoted rifle or pistol I would like to see it. There are to many good options!

I plan to have my stock coated in Hunter Safety Orange & then Tiger Stripe it.

I am currently torn between armor black and tungsten. Either of those would be a fine choice with the black stock. It really depends if you want some contrast or not. Are you having Nathan Chesney do the coating? He coated one for me recently with a bit more hardener for a soft sheen. It turned out great.

Ok, not black or grey, but the stock is in Forest Green and the barrel and action is in Gold.

Sniper Gray is my favorite. Blue Titanium FDE Another of my favorites! This one is painter's tape blue - it's a custom blend.

That sniper gray is real nice. I have filled out the paperwork and it is going to be armor black.

A buddy has the armor black and it seems to show a lot more " marks" than the graphite black. It is very flat.

I love that burnt bronze. I'm planning a 6x47L varmint weight rifle with burnt bronze. It's about as pimp as I'll go......with rifles anyway.

Did you just ask for the "McWoody" color on this stock ? I see they have two different choices for this ..."med McWoody" and "dark McWoody"...

Midnight Purple, which i've recently discovered from Charley Santoni of CS Sports, who finished my Pre 64 in 9.3x62, seen here, is no longer available....darn it, because I wanted to use it again for a 6.5x57BR i'm having built. Alan
