Today I show you the processes I took to Cerakote my AR. This can be done with any gun! I did mine in burnt bronze.

6:23 Your results look good. But for those who are here for information on the process, (I am here for the finished color shots). Cerakote specifically recommends one thicker coat and not several light coats. They actually cite that as one mistake folks make when using their product. As it’s not the same as regular paint. Hope this helps someone. Great job man. Looks great. And THANK YOU for not showing a cleared weapon. lol

It looks great man. I am a painter among other things. Sandblasting is just done because it roughs up every spot. It's a little harder to scuff everything with sand paper but you can do it. That sprayer you used works just fine for small parts. You wouldn't want to do a car fender with it, but for gun parts it works fine. Baking your metal parts is done to get the oils and contaminants out of the metal. Metal has pours and grain and can absorb some chemicals to a degree so baking it helps to get those oils to the surface so you can then clean the oils off of the metal. I will usually clean something, then bake it and clean it again to make sure it's really totally clean. If you do this a lot or as a business, a proper paint gun is the way to go, but doing a few things for yourself, I agree with this spray bottle you used.

point of baking prior is to burn out the oil. i wash it with brake cleaner, air dry, then handheld propane torch to burnout the oil
