I've had some guns cerocoated. I had this Savage 99 358 which was very rusted and pitted on the outside so I had a hammered texture powdercoating applied, which hid all that. The ceracoat one's I've had done scratch easily, YMMV. The powdercoat is tough as hell and comes in many colors and textures or smooth.
