Does cerakote depreciate a guns value??

I had Fat Albert do an American Flag on my DE. It looked great and increased the value.

Depends on how good the cerakote job is. That and if the gun is rare or on the collectible side. I probably wouldn't buy a Colt King Cobra if it was cerakoted.

There is a reason why gun manufacturers get more money for Cerakoted guns. It is the best thing going. No it does not lessen a firearms value if done correct. It raises it. That means not from the DIY crowd. I have seen someone here talk about chipping. This must either be a shadetree gun tinkerer.This ,I do not recommend. Or he is calling something else Cerakote.
