At Home Budget Cerakote Spraying for Complete Beginners 

Well heck, if that's how you feel about this video you sure are going to love my upcoming battleworn and camo Cerakote instructionals! I will be pointing anyone who down-votes my videos to this comment from hereon out Ha!

Thanks! I've always enjoyed teaching others new skills. So it is nice to hear when it is actually working out Ha!

There must be someone out there with the same voice then, because you are thinking of someone else. Ha! I am a few weeks away from trying my first attempt at slide cuts on my Tormach mill. So those how to videos will be coming. But as of right now I've never done one.

Thanks. I've always been a crafty guy and with that comes work-piece prep and spraying some sort of finish. I've always hated those two steps until I found cerakote. I agree it's awesome stuff and for some reason I don't hate using it like all other finishes I've played with! Ha!

Cool. If you have any more questions my email is on my channel's page description.

Absolutely. There is a partner video to this one. It's the one directly before it in both my cerakote playlist as well as the AR15 project playlist that this was created during. It goes over the details of my budget setup to spray and covers both moisture and oil filtering in the lines.

@@NotaGuntuber this was a great video! And it was well put together. I just wanted to add that in just in case someone just watches this one video. I’ll definitely be watching the other ones. I’m getting ready to cerakote some stuff this weekend 👍🏽

@@silverandblackentertainment share pictures! I'm always excited to see how people do. My email's on my channel page.

@@NotaGuntuber I tried to send you a video and pics, but your email didn’t work or something. It like wants me to sign up

@@NotaGuntuber I just posted some pics on my community posts! Check em out. Just a quick little backyard job.

No. Because that's not even an option. The purpose of that step is not to sand the surface smooth like you would on a woodworking project or something. Cerakote requires a very specific and uniform blast profile. The paint does not have a chemical etchant in it so it relies on the texture of the surface for adhesion. Therefore, not blasting isn't an option. So I found the cheapest way to do the blasting by getting the smallest, cheapest cabinet I could find and making it not suck by modifying it myself with cheap parts. Here's the part you're not going to like. This is right about as cheap as you are going to be able to start, as a beginner. If that still seems to high, then this isn't the hobby for you because that truly is the low bar to entry. I suggest you watch the video right before this one in the series as it goes into detail on the tools required, and more importantly, why those are the tools required.

Ha! I do have one. Went with a gray one. You'll see it in the final assembly videos.

@@NotaGuntuber I really appreciate your videos!

I made it. Go watch the rest of the playlist. I walk you through how, what tools, I used, everything.

I did not change the nozzle size on the spray gun from harbor freight. So it is whatever that gun comes with. I remember that it is not exactly what cerakote recommends. But I assure you if gets the job done.

Hello, thank you for your response. Have a nice day

The barrel nut was tungsten. The receiver was a custom mix of matte armor clear with Pearlex Interference Blue mica powder.

None. They are something that I make myself. A Quick Look at the titles and thumbnails of this playlist should answer any other questions you have ru-vid.com/group/PLbussVfAypJNyR1QnRIKnFExVJFIPOj5z

Do as you please. But I have to ask why? From my reading you have to have all the same equipment to do air cure that you have to have to do H series. The only difference being the oven isn't used for the cure and therefore you're not putting painted parts into an oven. If you're using your kitchen I guess I could see only putting degreased metal parts into your oven being better than putting painted parts. I'd still say if you're doing more than 1-2 projects, just build an oven or buy a cheap used one on craigslist and go full bore with oven cure.

​@NotaGuntuber I was told by them this morning is the air cure is best for gasoline and heated parts on a motorcycle

You bet your ass it is! That is how we roll around here. My video released right after this one called "Budget DIY Cerakote Setup and Equipment" talks through building it, PID settings, and all that fun nerdy stuff.

Best of luck. That sounds like one hell of a lawn mower for that price!

@@NotaGuntuber lol yep, performance costs money
