Cerakote Projects

[bsmith918]

I finally had a few evenings at home during the week, so I decided to do a little spraying. The Kahr slide/barrel is another members, but the AR is my Beowulf build that is only waiting on a brake before I finally get it put together. The slide, small parts, and AR are done in Sniper Gray and the barrel was done in graphite black.

Nice work...

 

[Matt1911]

Awesome!!
I'll post a picture of the Kahr all put together when I get it back from you. Thanks again

Pray tell your method?

 

[bsmith918]

It's not hard if you have all the equipment. The prep work takes up most of the time. Now I need something to try the Blue Titanium on.

1. Degrease.
2. Blast with aluminum oxide.
3. Blow off dust.
4. Degrease.
5. Heat in oven for 20 minutes to make sure there is no oil left.
6. Spray with HVLP gun.
7. Bake in oven for 2 hours at 250.

Taymoors hi point would love some blue titanium flames.

 

[bsmith918]

I would do it just for the sheer awesomeness of the project. Too bad I don't have any burnt bronze, that would be ultimate HP! I do have some white KG.......

Does the oven smell funny after you are done?? My wife would ***** at me if it did!

[Wall]

yeah.......you probably shouldn't do it in your wife's oven.
Brad actually built a pretty kick ass oven in his garage out of some misc. parts......that's just badass!!!!

 

[bsmith918]

Nope, I went all out and built an oven out of a large gun cabinet, PID controller, oven elements, duct board, high-temp gasket sealant, J-type thermocouple, etc..... I can actually bake quite a bit of stuff at the same time, including long barreled actions and long shotgun barrels. There should be a thread around here on my oven build. I have added a few upgrades since the original design.

it's even got a space on top for biscuits

 

[bsmith918]

I love biscuits! Especially when they are lightly dusted in Cerakote and served with apple butter!

Howd the front sight make it through the cure? Look ok?
Let me know if you need another one; i think I have a few here.

 

[bsmith918]

The front sight was fine. He is going to get new sights, but wanted to leave it on until he did so. I wasn't sure how that sight was going to hold up though and was prepared to start over if it melted.

 

[Matt1911]

The front sight is fine. I think I'm gonna replace it with an XS big dot anyways.
When I get back home and get it put back together I'll post more pics.

Before:

This thing looks so much better. I can't wait for my new CC holster to get in now.
After:

 

[GodnCountry65]

looks nice, love the grip tape. Always thought I coulda used some on my cw40. it's gone now though.

 

[bsmith918]

That's not tape, he did a really nice stippling job on that Kahr.

Maybe I could talk you into doing my shotgun in OD green. Will It work on the plastic?
