Cerakote stainless steel?

Hi guys,

Just wondering, can you cerakote stainless steel?

Or only mild steel?

Not sure if it's like bluing in that sense or different?

Cheers.

Cerakote is a coating, not a stain like blue.

You can do stainless.
See you on the firing line.

I think there is a limit on available colours due to some difference in coating for stainless, but they do do it.

This is from a testimonial on the cerakoteguncoatings website

The bottom line is that Cerakote will adhere to just about every metal you can come across in the firearms world. The myth of not adhering to as well to stainless steel or Ti was put to rest.


Sounds good to me.

That may have been true way back when, there's plenty of colours available now though.
