Leave it as is. or get it melonited and the action bead blasted and treated to match. Cerakoat will look cheap after a few scratches and dings.

If you go with melonite there are advantages to doing it early. One compromise I like is to use Moly Coat on the stainless and then wax it with renaissance wax. This gives it a sort of titanium look I like, it is fairly subtle and if you don't like it it is easy to remove with solvents.

Forgot the other finish I like is industrial black chrome with a matte finish. It is almost Bomb proof and no chance something will change with the barrel which occasionally happens with Melonite if done too hot.
