What was damaged on the Cerakote before? I've been dabbling in Cerakote again but with an airbrush this time.... and have almost mastered tungsten and magpul odg. Going to try magpul fde and microslick next. Apparently other than the pearl looking one those are good samples of the hardest colors to paint.
A couple of the mags (those are steel) came loose in shipping and bounced around. Put some dings in it and chipped some cerekote. The rail had to be completely redone twice. First guy couldnt match the color of the receivers.
I've got a new AR I'd like to get cerekoted if you want something to play with.

It's a PITA to match Cerakote. You need to shake it a lot and make sure you use the right size filter. Otherwise the solids don't get mixed in evenly and it changes the color tremendously. And once you've messed up the ratio (by not mixing enough) it will forever haunt you using that can of paint going forward. It can also affect the "matte" of it. I have some magpul odg that came out shiny and darker than it was supposed to be so that was a lesson learned.
I'm still trying to learn the finer parts of using an airbrush with Cerakote. It's easier to do with my auto paint guns (Tekna Prolite) but it's super wasteful. Even with lots of spilling due to my sausage finger hands trying to pour the paint out of a nalgene bottle through a filter into a 3/4 oz paint cup I still use half the paint compared to using my Tekna with the smallest dekups.
Picked up this 2011 Ram 1500 this weekend. Needs some upgrades, but it's the nicest truck I've ever owned.

Good looking truck! Keep an eye on the headliner in the rear corners. The 3rd brake light is prone to leaking.
