Do it this way...just EXACTLY are you hoping/trying to get accomplished? Concise particulars,never hurt the equation. Hint...........

What people think is “slick” material that shouldn’t wear things - well it surely is not always the case. in benchrest we originally used aluminum plates to ride the bags.. and if you use them with cordura bags they do fine -
BUT - I used them with “SLICK” ear material, and rest material..
One of the older shooters asked me to life up my gun after I shot my round and showed me the aluminum embedded into the “slick” material…
WTH !! So don’t assume other protective coatings aren’t not abrasive…

MD, In the way of exhausting research… Coating thickness testing is yet another dimension… but I would think people end up on the heavy side more than the light side… But the only way to check is with a gauge. Huh.. I could go to a gun store and measure a bunch of commercial coating - I haven’t done that yet. Here is the one NIC resells - if you get into testing they’d probably loan you one, they aren’t too expensive but past QC they have limited use. Thanks, but after considerably more research I doubt the thickness of the coating has nearly as much to do with effectiveness as application technique. Will be publishing my article in Rifle Loony News, the quarterly on-line "magazine" my wife and I publish through our website, www.riflesandrecipes.com--partly because we don't take any advertising so have considerably more "flexibility" in what info gets published.

Agreed - thickness would pertain with well applied coatings and how long it takes lighter abrasions to penetrate to metal - but when a guys saying it’s wearing off completely something else is afoot with coating adherence, and that’s application.. application method, coating type or baking issues.

I have one rifle that I bought “cerakoted”, citra strip removed it.
Have another done by a local smith. It’s been used and handled quite a bit and shows pretty much zero wear.
Personally, I’d try nitride before I ever cerakoted again.
