Keep in mind the catalyst to cerakote rate changes based off of the type of cerakote you are using. Pro tips you won't find online: Instead of spray painting your entire firearm in cerakote, use a cerakote E 'elite' or H base and cook that. After that, use krylon "Or similar" and do your paint job. If you want to change that paint job down the road, you can simply use paint thinner and remove it and it will not affect the elite finish. You can also use the base coat as I mentioned, then use krylon and go over it with "cerakote C" in a clear coating which is a much more robust finish, but also removeable. Things cerakote tries to keep on the downlow... You can use regular spray paint consmetically and cover it with their clear finish in elite series or even the h series and cool it over the paint job. It you want it real strong, do it two coats within a 10-minute window at room temerature and take straight to the oven and cook. You can always paint over your clear finish as well and remove anything you don't like with paint thinner etc. Lastly, you can cerakote over hydro dipping.
Pretty good vid, overall. But man, you might want to think about getting a respirator. I've sprayed Cerakote under many lighting conditions and you'd be surprise at how large a ball of mist it produces that just hangs in the air for quite a while. You don't notice it unless the lighting is just right, but it's there, especially when you're sheltered overhead and the air is still. Breathing that stuff is super not good. Regarding the shade differences, I've experienced that with parts sprayed at the same time with the same batch of Cerakote and heat cured at the same time in the same oven. They sometimes come out two slightly different shades. It's bizarre, and I don't get it. It makes sense if one part is aluminum and one is polymer, and they're cured at different temps, or if one part is hard-coat anodized and one is bare aluminum, but when they are essentially two identical hunks of aluminum, it doesn't add up. The only thing I can think of is possibly a disparity between coat thicknesses, since that's really the only possible variable.
Does the Cerakote impart any “flavors” into food baked in the oven after the parts are cured? Also, do you find the convection function helps evenly cure parts? My wife says there’s a time for convection and a time for no convection… food not her AR parts.
Looks great. Always wanted to do my own Cerakote, but it's not the easiest thing to do. I know it don't have to be as complicated as they make it... but it's still not easy and it's not cheap to pay for screw-ups when trying to learn. Despite it being a far better coating than most others, it's definitely cheaper than them. I think it's ridiculous with some of them they make you buy and destroy an entire can all at once, so if you just want to do a couple parts you have to sacrifice an entire can. Cerakote's a good one for DIY too, because if you just have small parts you can use an airbrush... and that will massively reduce waste, like when you're done and have to clean out your sprayer.
I just watched someone trained by Cerakote. That person warned against using the oven you bake / cook in for this process. Just thought you might want to know.
Driving a car is also unsafe, as is drinking alcohol or eating fast food regularly, or owning a swimming pool. Sometimes we just go with what we've got.
Yes, but after doing this stuff without a respirator for even a little bit you don't notice the smell any more. Your wife will obviously. Also IQ points drop fairly quickly too breathing that stuff in. It's like huffing model glue. They are only brain cells...
@@neal9700 appreciate the support. Been meaning to get back into niche Gun stuff but had a few kids over the last few years and really have not had time. Been getting the bug to make some more videos so I just might.
I want to do this to Titanium and Stainless, and make them black. How difficult is it to coat the stainless? And the item in question is a knife, but how do I do it without covering the lettering and steel type that’s etched on the blade? Like how Spyderco does the DLC, and compare it to their standard finishes, the logo and etching looks silver? And I’ve seen custom makers do their own coating in Spyderco’s and they even make the usually black etching silver? And is there anything you can use rather than a house oven?
Good info constructive criticism if you make more videos be aware of lights inside to outside garage and oven light made it difficult to see at times but overall good stuff man
It’ll get hit when you make your passes. Just make sure you inspect it before you bake it and hit any spots you miss. Luckily modern hand guards have a lot of holes!
That 4oz bottle cerakote sells is enough for one rifle? I was going to use their c series no bake. Mrs will loose her shit on me if she sees me baking gun parts in the oven and not anything else.
Where did you get the stainless baking pan. What are the dimensions? Only found a 16x4x4, I’m thinking I need at least an 18” or possibly a 20”. Thanks
Probably just get one that's going to be big enough. Measure the length and order a pan long enough to fit that length in . Not wanting to sound rude but if you can't determine what size of a pan is big enough to put your part in on your own then this project may be above your capabilities
You can damage your parts regardless of the size of abrasive if you hold it in the same spot. If you just don’t stop moving and don’t run over the exact same spot dozens of time you will be fine.
Cerakote in your Turkey is bad. Make sure that you pack it well with stuffing, so that it soaks up all the vapor residue. Hence rendering the turkey less carcinogenic.
What gets me is when she wakes up for the last time before going to bed for the night and realizes the day is wasted and will try to get things done right now. And suddenly I'm garbage for not feeling the same sense of urgency. Or sleeps untill you get home from work and reminds you of how much stuff "WE" need to get done right now! 😅
46 seconds in and you have said “umm” no less than a dozen times. No clue what to say? I can’t get anything from this video because I can’t watch it. You’re killing me smalls!

R.I.P. to your cars paint
White car with dark cerakote over spray? Nice! 😂
This was the comment I was looking for lol 😆
What did you think all of the recycled acetone was for 😊
Cerakote lungs too
Was gonna say same!

What about rustoleum?
Very impressive that you were able to do all this by yourself. Awesome.

Make sure you get a lid for the pan! Acetone evaporates fairly quickly especially I'm the summer time, you go through Acetone like crazy! Great video.

Yeah, that's pretty sketchy. Also, spraying without a respirator is a huge no-no with Cerakote.

I need the mc5100 clear for polished aluminum so I don’t have to worry about oxidation
Thank you. Was searching to see if I could just bake in my kitchen oven and not need a whole other oven in the garage 👍
get a cheap smoker
Don’t use your kitchen oven
No, use your kitchen oven right before thanksgiving, your family will love the new taste
Does it not make your oven smell?
Yes, but after doing this stuff without a respirator for even a little bit you don't notice the smell any more. Your wife will obviously.
Also IQ points drop fairly quickly too breathing that stuff in. It's like huffing model glue. They are only brain cells...
I’m having trouble finding the pan you’re using. Do you happen to have a link? Thank you for the video!!
Restaurants call that a Hotel Pan. They're used in hot buffets
Where did you buy your respirator?
I have 1 that's babied. The rest get the rattle can due to ease, time, and effort.
I think you done good bro. I grew up in a paint and body shop easy process imo
What’s your upper and lower receivers?
EFT soundtrack
Noice!
glad i wasn't
the only one who was like wait why does this sound familiar lol
Love the tarkov audio lol
Actually that lower and upper is a nice looking ambi set..... I'm machining a lower out to put in the Aero ambi bolt catch/release
Nice playlist!

It ok to bake chocolate chip cookies & gun parts at the same time?
Only one way to find out
I have the same air compressor do you have to let pressure build multiple times just to blast one hand guard fully?
Nice work. What song did you use at 10:05? That was a real banger.
someone said it's a song from the shooting game Escape from Tarkov
I want to do this to Titanium and Stainless, and make them black.
How difficult is it to coat the stainless?
And the item in question is a knife, but how do I do it without covering the lettering and steel type that’s etched on the blade?
Like how Spyderco does the DLC, and compare it to their standard finishes, the logo and etching looks silver?
And I’ve seen custom makers do their own coating in Spyderco’s and they even make the usually black etching silver?
And is there anything you can use rather than a house oven?
If you put your house oven in the backyard does it become a "yard" oven? if yes, I vote go this way.
Good info constructive criticism if you make more videos be aware of lights inside to outside garage and oven light made it difficult to see at times but overall good stuff man
Can you use sandpaper rather than blasting it?
Can I use my small air compressor for tires etc. for my air gun?
Great job!
Air/oil separator for the compressor. I'm curious would that be a good addition.
I have an oil less but a water and oil separator are still required or you will get jam after jam and the moisture will win quickly
@@LarpingSupply thanks!
@@LarpingSupply I'm looking to get my rifle cerakoted to mimic parkerizing
@@LarpingSupply condensation will ruin your work. desiccant air dryers are fairly cheap to add in line.
That shape and size of pan is most easily found by searching "hotel pan"
Good stuff man, thanks for the vid!
How do you spray the inside of the handguard? Any tricks to it?
It’ll get hit when you make your passes. Just make sure you inspect it before you bake it and hit any spots you miss. Luckily modern hand guards have a lot of holes!
@@LarpingSupply what did you mix/apply to the handguard at 7:10 before applying your cerakote?
@@wcsdiariesI don’t add anything extra other than what described
@@LarpingSupply but what is that thing you're mixing? It's not the cerakote it's some kind of primer? Did it come with your cerakote?
I use Dawn ultra and break clean rinse and repeat
Well this was more expensive and more complicated than paying a professional to do it😂
This isn’t easy if we have to buy a sandblaster.
I've seen videos with a scrub brush
That 4oz bottle cerakote sells is enough for one rifle? I was going to use their c series no bake. Mrs will loose her shit on me if she sees me baking gun parts in the oven and not anything else.
Yes should be enough
Do you have a written step by step process as a reference?
Where did you get the stainless baking pan. What are the dimensions? Only found a 16x4x4, I’m thinking I need at least an 18” or possibly a 20”. Thanks
It's called a 2/4th pan in restaurant terms. Most restaurant supply places prob have it
Probably just get one that's going to be big enough. Measure the length and order a pan long enough to fit that length in . Not wanting to sound rude but if you can't determine what size of a pan is big enough to put your part in on your own then this project may be above your capabilities
Is that burnt bronze?
Yes
Don't your hooks leave marks?
lol ballzy af that you're spraying right next to the car with a pregnant mrs in the house!
What rail is that ?
JL billet
What hand gaurd is that ? Where you get it ?
JL billet
Parts list ?
Do you have the link for the bread pan?
I grabbed it off Amazon but can’t seem to find it currently.
I have a question... I want to sand blast my rail my upper and my lower... do I run any risks with tolerances on the rail and the upper?
At 100 PSI no it won’t remove any metal only finish
@@LarpingSupply thank you!
@@luke-te3sr just make sure to use the correct blasting media!
You can damage your parts regardless of the size of abrasive if you hold it in the same spot. If you just don’t stop moving and don’t run over the exact same spot dozens of time you will be fine.
@@LarpingSupply so did you do 2 coats in the end? 2 hours of baking in the oven total (3 if we include the hour of acetone)?
Fucking awesome Tarkov music. Good shit man😊
Cerakote in your Turkey is bad. Make sure that you pack it well with stuffing, so that it soaks up all the vapor residue. Hence rendering the turkey less carcinogenic.
I want the song brother 🥶
It’s from escape from tarkov
Kraylon paint is awesome.
rip to those who use the oven for foods after this video
Lmao no Cerakote is literally ceramic.
It smells for a bit but it’s fine like a half hour later.
Run your oven on clean if you are concerned
It’s fine Julie calm down 🙄
I definitely would not use the oven I cook in especially with a pregnant wife…
@@gtpro700 with a pregnant wife, you should hide all your toys!
The tarkov music
Rapco !!
Rattle can and be done. No time for all this
🤘
good video homie very thorough 🫡 it turned out great
Wife napping during the day....All day....everyday. brother I know the struggle.
I hear ya, man. It’s beyond annoying. Talk about wasting your life away.
What gets me is when she wakes up for the last time before going to bed for the night and realizes the day is wasted and will try to get things done right now. And suddenly I'm garbage for not feeling the same sense of urgency. Or sleeps untill you get home from work and reminds you of how much stuff "WE" need to get done right now! 😅
im going to guess Great Pyrrenes
With a white car in the garage.
Lol did you really steal tarkov music
thats a lot of work, id rather just rattle can it.
Horrible music starts at 10:15
It’s a sped up version of escape from tarkov. It’s a vidja game
BTW you need a FFL to do this
No you dont
Way too much yapping.
Very nice tutorial, unfortunately i stopped after 10 min when the heavy metal music started
46 seconds in and you have said “umm” no less than a dozen times. No clue what to say? I can’t get anything from this video because I can’t watch it. You’re killing me smalls!
Dude Rip to your lungs. Need a mask when mixing the coat and when applying the coat. That stuff is harsh, especially the catalyst.
You cook this in the same oven you cook food in, wow. Darwinism at its finest.
Cringe and unbased
You just run self clean afterwards or before you cook in there.
35.00 for 4 ounced of cerakote, what a rip off. Better off painting it.
