That looks sweet!! Where did you get it? And how tough is it to put on?

Hey, I like that. What did you do to the grip?

You can get Cerakote from NIC Industries. Runs around $48 for 4 ounces delivered or $100/Qt + shipping.

Graham - I stipple the frames with a wood burner. I'll never get rich doing it but it gives me money to buy reloading components and an occasional new rifle!

Click his profile and check out his site!

I'd imagine the stipple was pre-cerakote, and is it the bake on that you did on the frame or air cure?

Re: OD Cerakote

I use the bake on stuff, I haven't tried the air cure. I'm far too impatient for that! Glock says their frames can withstand 400*F without warping and I bake them at 225*F, haven't had any issues.

Re: OD Cerakote

could you do a bbled action with 4 oz?

Re: OD Cerakote

Oh yeah, you could probably do three if you set up your airbrush or HVLP correctly.
