If you're doing a high wear component, such as a BCG or the inside of your upper, then use Micro-Slick. Regular Cerakote will gall in high wear areas that are subject to surface friction between articulating parts.

Ok, i will be the devils advocate.
When i get ready to go to the beach and swim for 84.75 days with my gun around my neck i will get it cerakoted first.
I just don't get everyones concern for corrosion. I am willing to bet none of us will ever be in a situation where we expose our gun to 84.75 days of salt water without wiping it down with some sort of petro.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

Doesn't take long for pitting to show up on the inside of your barrel if out in the weeds, mist and rain for a bit.

Guess I'm weird, I like black and silver, black on black. Not much on camo or other colors on guns.
The saltiest my guns see is the palm of my hand and i wipe them down periodically. I just don't see the need for more protection.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

I have used Cerakote Micro-Slick on my last 3 builds on both the carriers and the inside of the uppers. It is great stuff. It is a lot of work and preparation to do correctly but I love Cerakote. Another great fact about Cerakote is after you Cerakote your firearm you can paint over it with regular paint like all white for winter camouflage and come spring just wipe the paint off with acetone.

For me and my needs, there are very legitimate demands for Cerakote, and I wish we could have had all of our equipment coated with it in the military. The time it would have saved on machinegun spare barrels alone would exceed its weight in gold, never mind tripods, M16's, M4's, etc.
Here's one of the guy's rifles after that course in February:
It's now fully Cerakoted FDE, to include the steel screws on the handguard, scope mount, rings, LPK external small parts like pin heads, selector, mag release, etc.Last edited by LRRPF52; 08-04-2015, 05:05 PM.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Wow, what yall got in the water out there? I have had guns out in wet weather and never had a problem like that. They fo get wiped off back at the camp.
When i was a kid I had a Remington 1100 spend the night under water after a boat accident and it faired better than the gun in those photos. The blueing held up fine. The only permant damage was the stock cracked a bit from swelling.Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

I assume to paint one and do it right, each and every piece has to be removed and painted separately?
How do you keep from cracking the finish when torquing the screws down or driving in pins?Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.
