AR Finishes questions

[R6Hybridd]

Here is what I got going on. 300 Blackout build on an Umbrella Corporation lower, Seekins upper and hand guard, and barrel will be SS 16". I want to get the lower refinished to match the Seekins upper and hand guard, the logo and lettering filled in with color (pics posted below), and the barrel finished in black as well.

The questions are;
1. With all the different firearms coatings out there and all of the companies saying theirs is the best, which ones have you all had the most success with (remember the multi color)? I want the rifle to look good but it will not be a safe queen so durability is kinda important.

2. Which Hide supporters do this kind of work (a complete list of Hide supporters would be cool)? I love this place and I have heard nothing but good about supporters of the Hide and I would like to support them.

Thanks


This is what I have...

And this is what I would like it to look like...

Cerakote is a good way to go. I currently have a rifle out at Controlled Chaos Arms being fully coated. Good bunch of guys.

Here are some of the more common options. If money is no object, I would put Cerakote at the top of the list, particularly for durability. If I was going to spend the money, that is what I would do.

Cerakote
KG Gunkote
Norrell's moly resin
DuraCoat
Aervoe spray paint
Alumahyde

Cerakote is a great finish for a complete area but 'bling fill' can and should be done with a re-touchupable paint.
I don't think there is a permanent solution for your task.
