Jet flint Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi, could anyone tell me if you can apply a cerakote finish to a rifle with it already applied ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANTAC UK Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 yes its possible. Is it thermal cure or not though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 No, not if its been baked. The paint goes past the stage where any new paint will bond to it. Thats why on a multi coloured job, you have to part cure each colour just enough to dry it, and accept other colours over the top. If its air dry, then its best removed first anyway.

Jet flint Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thank you for the replies gentlemen. So the original finish can be removed by soda blasting or the like by a gunsmith such as yourself Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yes, its removed with Aluminium oxide, NOT bead media [not a good base for paint ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
