I 100% agree that the colors are much better represented when in real life motion like you displayed. Thanks for the great visuals, very helpful in understanding the types.
I suppose this is gun blueing colors. If not, you need not to assume all of us are experts on what you’re talking about. I, for one, am one of them. Thanks for your content and your accent is a nice sound for sore ears! Upstate SC here.
Its CeraKote, a ceramic spray-on coating that goes on super thing (typically 1-2 microns), so as not to appreciably change tolerances. Although it IS used extensive on firearms, it is also used on a wide variety of other items, from valve covers and headers on a car, to fishing reels, to stainless steel tumbler cups. It is not a chemical process like bluing. There are several flavors of Cerakote, some are air cure, and the more durable/popular ones are air cure. The standard is the H series, which IIRC is good up to like 800 degrees. If you need high heat, such as on headers or a gas system of a rifle, the V series is what you are after. What he is showcasing here is the Cerakote FX line, which is mixed with a clear coat, then sprayed over a base coat (much like a car would be) to give a pearlescent type effect.
