Stevens 200 Cerakote

[steve_dune]

I picked up a used Stevens 200 that I'd like to cerakote. It has a red plastic safety insert behind the safety switch. Do you guys tape it and just aluminum oxide blast around it, pop it out or how do you do it? Will it melt? I will use 250 degrees for 2 hrs for the cure.


Thanks

Here is a picture of the indicator. I'm not sure if I explained myself well enough.

It looks like the red indicator is just painted on the metal, and not a separate part. There are two ways you could do it, depending on what you want to do. Use an Exacto knife and cut a piece of strong tape that size to cover it. The problem with this method is the tape might come off during blasting and you have to redo the indicator anyway. I would just blast the whole part and use a red or red-brown paint marker to re paint the indicator once the blasting and cerakote are done.
