None of them are cheap or easy.
Cerakote is either air cure (easy) or the 2pak baked one (much harder, needs a big oven. I know, cos I just spent a long while making a big oven!!) The air cure one is not as durable - nowhere near the 2pak one.
The main thing is the sandblasting and degreasing with meticulous cleanliness. Then, being able to spray really damn evenly. It is a costly process to do by trial and error. The solvents used are also really nasty, this in NOT like usig rattlecans from Bunnings and holding your breath.
If you want to have a go, I'd recommend the air cure Cerakote (C-series) and a Preval disposable sprayer. They give a lovely even pattern (especially if you waste the first 1/4 of the can (say 20sec spray) to get the pressure down a tiny bit.)
Then it is a $80 experiment, not hundreds of $$$
For your sake, puhhlease use a resirator with an organic vapour filter.
