I've not had good luck with Cerakote in around a half dozen guns coated with the crap, echoing many other posters' experience. That includes at least one rifle done by a smith who receives a lot of praise on here for his work, and a couple of factory cerakoted firearms. Sure, the finishes held up better than Aluma-Hyde, but not by enough to justify the cost.
Edit: Forgot about suppressors. The finish on Cerakoted cans has not held up well either, in comparison to cans that had other finishes such as Gun Kote.
