Does cerakote depreciate a guns value??

[Gunanddoglover]

Depends on the gun and if you do something "unique." Definitely hurts milsurplus, Smith revolvers, and other collectable firearms.

It won't hurt if fashionable, but please don't jack price up by a grand or so like some of the Glocks I've been seeing.

I don’t think he’ll sell it

I don’t think he’ll sell it

I think he is negotiating with BIKER13 on that "fine piece of art display case".

Depends upon the gun, the buyer, and how well the Cerakote is done.

I have had several guns cerakoted. Never had a problem trading them but it won’t add that much to its value in most cases. I currently have a 70 series colt 1911 that I am thinking of having cerokoted. It’s a shooter and not a collector so we shall see

I think it depends on how good it looks:
Color scheme and quality job.

I have seen guns WRECKED by it and I have seen guns come out looking as good or better.

Don’t worry about it if it’s one you will keep forever. But if you are planning on selling it I would hold off.
