Excellent video. I’ve been anodizing parts for some time now, but the cost, mess and process has me wanting to go a different direction. I started looking at cerakote and decided that was going to be my next venture. I’ve got everything I need to start except the oven. I never even considered an electric smoker until I watched your video. What a great idea. I already ordered one online and plan to do my first pieces this weekend. Thank you for the video and all of the information.

I agree that it's tedious and time consuming, but if you do your homework you would have known that before getting into it. Like you, I like doing things myself and learning new things. So I've been doing this myself too and i find that once you get started on your project it's a commitment. Right now I am using their air cure products till I get an oven. For the folks that had theirs "blister up", they most likely still had some residue left behind and didn't properly clean the surface. Just my opinion. This is a fun project to give some objects a new life. I have Cerakoted a couple items so far and it is a learning curve for newbies. Practice makes perfect. Great video and review.

Thanks for the video. The electric smoker idea is a boon. I was looking at 30L electric toaster ovens but an electric smoker triples the available volume for the same price. I have all the paint gear minus the sandblasting cab from refinishing my kitchen cabinets. Good on ya!

got a cerakote kit last year for my bday, took me another year to get the rest of the equipment I would need but the 1st time I used it to resore my friends 1911 it came out beautifully. Ive been spray painting guns for a few years now with lots of success but Cerakoting them has taken my finished products to the next level. im using the oven cure H series now but plan on using some air cure C series as well and expanding my color combinations. 5/5 stars in my book

I've been in bodywork and refinishing just about everything. Insurance claims, overalls, restoration, custom. Air brush and pin striping. I'm certified in PPG,and Sherwin Williams. It took me about a year just to adapt to the diffent spray technique and proper flash, bake, ect. I'm backlogged with 7 extremely artistic firearms,and 2 that are just 2 simple olods.

I had the room, most of the equipment, and i find the time. Been doing cerakote for several years now. I've amassed about 200 colors in the various types of kote and have done about 100 things including other people's guns. The money I've made has pretty much paid for all of my stuff and the stuff I've coated personally. Is it for everyone to DIY not a chance. But if you're handy and are willing definitely do it.

Hey! How much cerakote can a 4oz tester cover? Did you happen to use the entire Benelli Sand 4oz tester for the AR?

So I think we may have had to buy a little extra because I had to redo some stuff, but I think it would have been pretty close if I didn’t.

What do you do with the plastic parts & scope? I'm assuming you wouldn't want to bake those.
@ReviewThisThing
@ReviewThisThing 4 месяца назад
For Plastic or Polymer 150° - 180° Fahrenheit or 65° - 82° Celsius 2 Hours So just a lot lower temperature.

What's the difference between oven vs air cure. Which one is better.
@ReviewThisThing
@ReviewThisThing 7 месяцев назад
From what I gather, the oven cure is better because it actually bakes the coating on.

I went to Pittsburgh cerakote to get a custom Saiga 12 and a custom Saiga 7.62 rifle sprayed. Did simple color scheme, one ODG on black, and the other, black on ODG. They charged me over $2,200. And even though i was specific and said not to, they sprayed all of the inner workings (entire trigger and hammer assembly, gas system, bolt assembly, literally everything internal). Kinda like sending your Ferrari to get painted, only to find that they tore apart your motor and paint the inside of every piece. This destroyed the trigger polish, bolt polish. The guns were literally locking up and not functional at all. It took days of grinding and polishing to get it back to functional. Next time I want a cerakote job, I'm definitely investing in the equipment to do it myself. Will certainly never use Pittsburgh cerakote again.
