You get what you pay for...

Worth at least twice now. Three times if it were a Hi-point!

I think they called that a crackled finish in the faux painting class my wife took at Lowes.

There was an individual in NC who was offering slide Cerakoting for $17. Yes, you read that right. Seventeen dollars. He was a member of a Facebook gun group that I frequent. I am also a member of a Cerakote professional applicators group on Facebook. Needless to say, we were incredibly skeptical about this individual.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and the disasters are starting to roll in. Here is one I received from one of his many disgruntled customers. As you can see, there was NO prep work done, he simply painted right over the factory finish. You could literally scrape the coating off with a fingernail. He also managed to mangle the rear sight. As far as I know, he is no longer in operation.

I wonder if that is even Cerakote, may be spray enamel!

No, it was definitely Cerakote. Cerakote that was applied incorrectly with no prep work.


Here's the "AFTER" pic.

Well done sir. I'm sure someone is a much happier camper.
