Keep in mind that if the application was done properly, the gun was abrasive blasted (Not glassbeaded!) before the Ceracote was sprayed on.

Said another way, the metal is already fairly rough under the Ceracote, so abrasive blast it off and then do whatever to prep for bluing.

Blast it off with A.O. or garnet. 100 - 80 grit @ 80psi will work great. Cerakote is a great product when applied correctly, regardless of what the haters say. KG gunkote is another product that performs well.

I concur with this last comment 100%. This has been my experience from doing many hundred jobs. The roll markings will be fine...i just use the aluminum oxide, have never used garnet. Glass beads will take forever.


If it moves shoot it again!!

Hype...


Sitka is pretty much spot on. I got certified went to the training and after a couple of years of working with Cerakote if you don't mix enough paint to finish a gun and you try to replicate the same measurements of paint and catalyst it never comes out the same. Plus it does wear out quickly when taking a rifle in and out of slip gun case/carrier. Even on handguns in and out of holsters.


MAGA! This is the way!
