Recently started applying Cerakote.
I have always applied KG products over parkerizing where possible. Over K-Phos where not (SS, Aluminum).
It simply holds up better that way.

Now I spoke with NIC Industries regarding applying cerakote over parkerizing but they had no testing or recommendation regarding application over park and suggested that if I try it to give them some feedback...
Well I plan on applying to samples and testing, but in the mean time I am looking to see if any of you have some comparitive experiences to share.

So, anyone apply cerakote over park?
Application go OK?
Hold up as well or better than over bare steel per the NIC instructions?

Thanks in advance
