About anything in a blast cabinet will make short work of Cerakote and most any other layed on surface finish.

We use alum oxide as the media and properly applied Ceracoat is very easy to remove.

More durable treatments like TiAlN or DLC take much more effort as it penetrates the substrate and you have to remove below the orignial substrate.

Cerakote is just a built up layer on the the surface and anything in a blast cabinet will remove it quicky.

Do you also use GunKote products John? If so, thoughts? TIA.

I do prefer the GunKote products to Cerakote.

I am not saying Cerakote is bad it's just that in side by side testing the GunKote is better.

This included suppressor coating but I have moved on to PVD treatments for Titainium and Stainless and hard coat anodize for Al as they are much more durable than any spray on coating.
