Typically when Cerkoting a barrled action it is blasted with 120 grit aluminum oxide. What about scopes that are to be Cerkoted? A light sand and degrease or just degrease the existing finish and coat?

I just degrease my NXS, no sanding at all.

I can tell on the turret edges that it's started to wear a LITTLE bit, but everything else has help up suburb.

The anodized scope surface does just fine. Just use c series or if using h series keep the temp down to about 150 and run it for 4 hours.
