6:23 Your results look good. But for those who are here for information on the process, (I am here for the finished color shots). Cerakote specifically recommends one thicker coat and not several light coats. They actually cite that as one mistake folks make when using their product. As it’s not the same as regular paint. Hope this helps someone. Great job man. Looks great. And THANK YOU for not showing a cleared weapon. lol
It looks great man. I am a painter among other things. Sandblasting is just done because it roughs up every spot. It's a little harder to scuff everything with sand paper but you can do it. That sprayer you used works just fine for small parts. You wouldn't want to do a car fender with it, but for gun parts it works fine. Baking your metal parts is done to get the oils and contaminants out of the metal. Metal has pours and grain and can absorb some chemicals to a degree so baking it helps to get those oils to the surface so you can then clean the oils off of the metal. I will usually clean something, then bake it and clean it again to make sure it's really totally clean. If you do this a lot or as a business, a proper paint gun is the way to go, but doing a few things for yourself, I agree with this spray bottle you used.
@@CarbonGlassMan what kind of median to use in a sandblaster to rough up the paint and not totally remove it? isnt there fiberglass flakes or something?
Great job! the only recommendation would be to take your spray strokes lengthways rather than strokes across the short width...will make the finish much smoother and eliminate any spatter...either way looks great. Thanks for sharing
@@Gamerj2014 couple of follow on Q's where did ya buy your preval sprayer kit, how much did you have left over and if ya had to do it again what would you do differently.
@@rhino67 I ordered the Preval Kit online, but it can be found at most hardware stores. I hardly had any paint left over. If I did it it again I would make sure to go slower on the trickier spots, such as the picatinny rails and small crevices.
Great job man! Rifle looks awesome, especially with the 2 time color. Looking to do this with an M44 barrel and receive in the diamond Gray color later today. Keep up the good work.
That came out pretty awesome man!🤘🏻 That's an American ass rifle🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 I think I'm going to try this on my current build...it'll finally be an actual ligit reason to wear a mask
im going to do this to my gun when i build it. i like the color aero made for their limited edition ed green upper and lower. i think i found a few that are close cant wait to give it a try
Thank you! The music used was built into my video editing software, I have since switched video editing porgrams and honestly don't remember what the song names or artists were sorry!
@@Protectiveedgetraining as shown in the video, I used Cerakote and put it in a Preval spray bottle I purchased from the hardware store. The Cerakote did not come in the spray bottle.
You were supposed to bake it and in the oven man lmao after you paint it to set the paint onto the gun parts wow some people just can’t read directions don’t follow this guy your cerakote won’t last a week period
As stated in the video, this is not the bake on version of Cerakote. This is an air cured version, it is not as durable as the bake on stuff and takes several days to fully cure. It still holds up to this day.
The best part of this vid is him showing up close end results, nicely done... rifle came out nicer then I thought man, badass!
Thank you!
"First things first yes the gun is unloaded, no I don't have to prove it to you" instant like from me.
Thank you!

Thanks, I was just doing this for myself so I figured it was worth a try
@@Gamerj2014 Absolutely. I would definitely go this rout if I didn't already have a shop, sandblaster and paint guns.
@@CarbonGlassMan what kind of median to use in a sandblaster to rough up the paint and not totally remove it? isnt there fiberglass flakes or something?
I think you done a great job man! Looks really nice! I loved it when you said....Yes, it's unloaded, No I don't have to prove it to you. LOL
Hey man, I appreciate it!
Buddy you did a great job Cerakoting your AR!!! NO BODY will be able to keep from scratching their AR, it's just made that way...😁👍👍
Thanks! Appreciate it
I think you did GREAT!!!! Looks very good to me. Good enough that i may actually try it myself. And you made it look relatively easy. Again, good job.
Thank you! It was a fun project and it's fairly simple to do!

point of baking prior is to burn out the oil. i wash it with brake cleaner, air dry, then handheld propane torch to burnout the oil
Propane torch is a good idea
Nice video... greatly appreciate you going through the steps thanx....
Thanks, and not a problem, there wasn't much out there, so I was trying to be helpful
Looks great!
I love the burnt bronze.
Thank you!
I've been looking for this exact video. I was planning to do things this way and you showed that it works. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!

Nice job!
Looks good man.
Thank you!
Cool. Thanks for sharing the info!
Nice job,looks great too me.
Thank you!
Awesome job! Looks great
Thank you!
If you’ve never seen brunt bronze in person, just know you’ll love it. In my opinion, it’s one of the best colors.
It is very unique!
Looks Amazing. 👏👏👏
Thanks!

Looks awesome!! Now i want to do it 🤙🏻

Well done
Thanks!
Dude it looks pretty badass
Thank you! I was thrilled with how it turned out!
Hecka of a job bud 🤙🏾
Thanks!
Looks good
Thanks!
Nice! The music is also nice who/what is it?
Thank you! The music used was built into my video editing software, I have since switched video editing porgrams and honestly don't remember what the song names or artists were sorry!
You mad it look easy. Tempting me to try it on my Glock 34 slide...
Go for it!
Nice!
Thanks!
looks great i love it
Thank you!
Looks great man!!! What type of scope do you have on the gun?
Thanks! It's a Barksa 1x4 Swat scope.
Was the 4oz of paint enough? did you have left over? About how much of it did you use?
I used almost the entire bottle. I had a tiny bit leftover
Great job! How long did you wait between coats? When using ceramic engine paint you wait 10 minutes between them.
Thank you! I applied the Cerakote in thin coats to prevent running and I waited 10-15 minutes in between coats.
Planning on doing this on my 300 blackout build same color etc. How's the cerakote holding up?
So far so good!
Nice hoing ti rider the stuff soon have to do a lower in od green to match my 223 wylde upper
Did the buffer tube scratch a lot? I thinking if i cerakote mine or just leave black anodized.
Mine still looks good
@@Gamerj2014 it didnt wear a lot?
@@gguimaraes2002 unfortunately, I haven't been able to shoot my gun a lot due to the cost of ammo. But it has held up so far.
What kind of spraying equipment are you using?
Everything I used was shown in the video
@@Gamerj2014 do you have links or names as I’ve never seen cerakoat spray bottles like that before. I’m looking to do the same type of project
@@Protectiveedgetraining as shown in the video, I used Cerakote and put it in a Preval spray bottle I purchased from the hardware store. The Cerakote did not come in the spray bottle.
Do you worry about coating coverage on the inside or the handguard? Or do you ignore that?
I wasn't too concerned about the inside because you don't really see it, so I ignored it.
@@Gamerj2014
Okay, thank you
@@nickt423 No problem, thank you for watching!
How’s it holding up?
Great so far!
Where did you get that mag?
From a Dunham's sporting good store. The brand is Amend2.
Hows it holding up from 2 years ago?
Good so far!
@Gamerj2014 have you cerakoted anything else, gone up to the H series with baking ?
@@jr8688 I have cerakoted a different rifle with the same method. I have not used the H series
Ok. 1 yr update?
It held up well
how is it holding up?
I'm not very hard on my guns but, so far so good!
How did it all hold up
I'm not overly rough on my equipment, but great so far.
Did u have to thin out the paint
Nope
Did ya bake it after you painted it?
No, I used Cerakotes air dry series that doesn't require baking. They sell a seperate bake on version as well.
@@Gamerj2014 ok I bought the H series I believe so I'm going to have to use my oven in my kitchen lol
@@mattyockey9195 on the plus side, the bake one will be more durable!
@@Gamerj2014 So I've heard I was going to duracoat again but when I use that stuff I could not get any of my take down pins back in lol
Did you use Cerakote C Series or H?
C
@@Gamerj2014 thanks man thinking about doing the same but with Patriot Brown. How has it been holding up any chips ?
@@play9809 It has held up well!
A little reckless with your chemicals but you got it done
You were supposed to bake it and in the oven man lmao after you paint it to set the paint onto the gun parts wow some people just can’t read directions don’t follow this guy your cerakote won’t last a week period

Need an update on this project, brother
It has held up well! Unfortunately I haven't been able to shoot it much due to the cost of ammo.
