My experience with Cerakote is rather mixed. I love the look and feel of it, but it does not burnish down and become as slick as GunKote. It also requires baking between coats if you are going to do a camo pattern, whereas GunKote can be stenciled, layered, and generally tampered with in process so you end up baking it just once, a huge time saver. While I am sure Cerakote is superior in some way (yes, I have read all the claims on their site), it chips easily, it spiderwebs if you hit the surface against something hard, and it sags easily during application. For my money, the NP3 will outperform it, and GunKote is easier.

oregonshooter- I have about $150 worth of Cerakote finish, thinner, and catalyst (all unopened except one). If you would like them, I will sell the whole shebang to you for $100, and I will even pay the shipping to you.
