Cerakote H-Series & Elite Training Video 

So now that ive seen this video does it mean i dont need to take the 1700 dollar class

I need like a ten hour complication of the process being done to dozens of different firearms. That would make for the absolute best background video for any gun club lobby.

I’m not a fishing guy....but I love custom stuff.....that’s so amazing. Damn what a time to be alive, that’s sick!

Seems like a gorgeous product.

may be too late 67beaumont67, but metal substrates should see 250F.. 160-180 may not be enough temp to kick the catalyst. If you already did it at the lower temp, you will probably not see a difference. However in the long term, durability may not be as good. Another point I would change from the video, is using a high pressure air gun to blow all of the blasting media from the pieces after blasting, then clean the parts again. the video suggests blowing with the HVLP gun at much lower air pressure,just prior to applying the coating. Also when cleaning the gun, I suggest flushing twice with MEK,,and use it to wipe all of the surfaces clean. Then remove the fluid tip and soak it inside the cup with clean MEK, put the top on and leave it. I am not a fan of solvent cleaning,because of the disposal costs as well as the evaporation rates My process uses a 7 stage zinc phosphate pretreatment, which can replace all blasting of steel parts. The final stage is a hot rinse/sealer,, which stops all oxidation. Aluminum is cleaned,then blasted,as are plastic substrates.

Sorry if I missed it in the video, but what kind of respirator would be appropriate for the degreasing and spraying portions of this process?

I wish we could still use 1-1-1 ether!

What kind of paint shaker was used in the clip?

I tried to call. I have a question about sequence. If gas out indicates oil and then it is cleaned again, why the additional step of blasting again? What makes the initial blasting no longer acceptable for surface preparation?

I purchased a raw (already blasted) F1 Firearms build set. They said it was "cerakote ready". I assume I can just soak in acetone for the recommended time then gas out (as long as no oils are present) cool down then spray. Right on? Instead of soak*blast*gas out*spray

just to clarify, you do not do another acetone bath after sand blasting? i feel like the parts will be dusty and need to be rinsed clean

I feel like nobody does this lol. If they did there would never be a bad review on cerakote

No cleaning between blasting and gassing out?

Using Cerakote H, I followed prep instructions to the T. While spraying with my series 80 Iwata my coating didn't look wet. I was 3-5 in away with 2-3 in fan with pressure at 22psi at gun handle. So I went back over the first coat within one to two minutes and then stuck it in the oven at 300 F. I went to the store for a couple of hours and came back and the coating had blistered. Did I leave it in the oven too long? Did I spray it wrong? BTW - This was my first time at using Cerakote. :)

Should i be worried if my hardener turned yellow over the summer...its not thicker just yellow?

Is their any clear coat that can get me a chrome anodising look as I want to do ktm triple clamps in orange high gloss or anodising look

So Cerakote Eilte is unsuitable for temperature sensitive parts given that all parts have to be cured at 300 deg ?

Can someone soak in 99% isopropyl alcohol?

Is there any other alternative to sand blasting ? Like sanding with 360 grit fine sand paper

is it possible to use it with an lvlp gun ??

I'm looking to coat rims and internal engine components, what would you recommend?

If i"m doing metal and polimer parts at the same time can I just bake it all together for 2 hours at 160-180 instead of baking the metal at 300 for 1 hour?

What is an optimal gun to use for cerakoting? Do you have a preference?

so did I understand that video correctly that we can now use simple green as a degreaser in place of acetone if so is it diluted or straight

Why does the H-Series of Cerakote only get 3 out of 5 stars for corrosion resistance on the website ?

Is coal slag ok for sandblasting parts such as a barrel?

What are you using to hang the yeti style cups?

@11:08 is is mentioned about using a spray gun with a metal cup. Is this important across the whole line of cerakote and what adverse effects can be seen by using a plastic cup ?

How do you gas out a scope ?

What is a good degreaser for polymers and plastic

When curing H-series, does the surface temp of the part actually have to be at 250° or just the air temp that it is in?

Hey, I've been doing Cerakote for about a year now. I just recently started doing white (Bright white). But whenever I spray, it almost looks like milk, and runs extremely badly! It looks thin or something. I soaked my spray gun in acetone and cleaned thoroughly. I have tried many different things, just wondering if someone would have an answer for me!

is it possible to cerakote a $ 400 scope its an illuminated 1-8x . heat treatment wont mess it up?

I was going to take the cheap ass approach. Duracoat , alumahyde. After watching this .... Fine I will send my m16 build. You get what you pay for. 😄 lol

I have an H series engine in my prelude, so my question is, why no cerakote on car parts?

i can use simple green?

can we use cellulosic thinner instead of acetone?

Does I have to sandblast my knife blade ?

What thinner/ reducer can I use to thin out H series?

do we must use 0.8mm tip? what about 0.5mm. is it matter with H series and elite? i would think i can apply this with my iwata PH-TH with 0.5mm

How much is this?where got buy this???

Can you use it on motocross parts

#Cerakote Do you or anyone know an applicator of Cerakote that has the licenses required to work on a registered Pre-86 ban full-auto M16? I've looked off and on for over a year and can't find one...

How much would it cost me for a professional to do this for me? I have a mosin nagant I would like done.

Can you darken elite colors? Say putting midnight in jungle?

Hi 8:19 - 8:24 what is the process between

What kind of beads do I use to blast a glock slide? #ceracote

Did you mean Nitrile Gloves instead of Nitrite?

How do i get a high gloss?

They don't show the degassing step they require??

I guess u can do ceramic coatings with out having to cure in a 900 degree oven now ..cool

Why Cerakote the mags & barrel.? Not sure I would do that. Whatever

Nitride gloves? So ceramic gloves? Or do you mean nitrile gloves lol? Sounds like the ceramic has limited your word comprehension.
