This one is nitride coated. Didn't turn out well.
Ferritic nitro-carburization is not a coating, it is a tempering process. Done in a salt bath at several hundred degrees. It does not add a coating, so would be impossible to "cover up" any logos or emblems.
That is a bad spray job, being sold with a buzz-word.
And terrible home-made grips.
My Airwieght Jframe came factory Cerakoted. It has worn off every edge and in any spots where a holster stitch touched the frame.
I am disillusioned to claims of Cerakote being something more than paint. It is a paint. A very good one. But a polymer coating, none the less.
Now Plasti-Dip, that's more my style.
Need a lime green zombie gun to irritate and offend Fudds at the range?
But you're not really one of those prepper types that would ruin a fine firearm with "radiation burns" and fake blood splatter?
Dip it!
Just spray it on! Goes on like paint.(The worst smelling, acrid, bog-shmutz oder smelling paint ever...
)
Spray your team colors for the match. Stomp your opponents to the earth and peel away your color buffs for the next week end's game.
Take that glorious glossy classic out for a hard, swamp-bottom hunt.
Of course sprayed in a concealing coat of camouflage! One that will protect that fine finish and give a rubberized high traction grip, too!
And when you've bagged your Swamp Donkey and are settled down with a single malt regaleing takes of the harvest, you can have the coat peeled right clean, with no defects to your pristine walnut. No scratches from the brush.
And a look of awe from your friends that you would take such a marvelous weapon out to the Brack and hunt it!
In all seriousness, I expected Cerakote to be tougher. But I only have the one pistol with it...
