Gunsmithing Duracoat over Cerakote Compatible?

[el gordo2]

I was planning to do a desert digital with Duracoat on a POF P308 with NP3 upper and lower. Wasnt planning on blasting everything but only scuffing up with a Scothbrite.

Now after dismantling and completely taking the rifle down I am having second thoughts. Now wondering if it feasable to do the base coat in H series Cerakote an then follow up with the different layers in Duracoat as I have the different colors of Duracoat on hand. Is this alright/OK to do? Or another possibility would be using the air dry C series over the H series though then I would have to purchase more coatings. Will be coating the Magpul PRS, grip and AFG as well as the scope. I know I am not baking the Trijicon but is the Magpul stuff able to take 200 degrees.


Note, since the rifle is taken down to parts I will now blast the NP3 off as I think I wont get good adhesion without doing so.

Any thoughts?

I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Whenever going over an existing coating, it's a matter of the existing being well bonded to the substrate, and compatible with the new topcoat so it doesn't lift.
I can't see the solvents in Duracoat being incompatible with or damaging the ceramic coating- but it's certainly worth a quick phone call to confirm.

Thanks wannashootit....

I finally got it done. Wound up only using Cerakote.

Great looking pattern.
H series or C?

Thanks, it was done with "C" only on account that I didnt want to bake the scope and magpul parts.
