Cerakote

[casey36]

I'm rebarreling a rifle and I want to get the whole gun and Talley lt. weights Ceracoated to match the scope. Does anyone have a guess which black Cerakote would match a Burris matte black scope. My local guy said there are a couple that are close. Just wondering if anyone has done it and your thoughts on color. Thanks

The carpet MUST match the drapes....... Too bad you don't wanna match color to a GOOD scope....

I'm happy with the scope. Its just a little 2-8×35 on a Model Seven . Sorry if thats not good enough for your pompous ass.. Ha Ha!

Here is some fuel for the nightmares of your anal-ness.....

fde chassis, polished stainless metal, target grey rings on a black scope, dull black rubber grips, shinier black plastic mag and gray sling

or....... green plywood, camo sling, target grey metal, fde scope with *gasp* black caps....

and to finish the dream.....

camo stock, DLC action, carbon barrel, same fde scope with the *gasp* black caps and 'not quite matching' matte black rings. And the ghastly colored mag comes nowhere near matching the *double gasp* scope.........grin

I have to coat the gun anyways, might as well match the scope. Blued action, s.s. barrel and kind of gloss blue Talley mounts . Easiest way to do it.

I went E Series blackout I believe. Id have to confirm for sure it was blackout, but I know it was E Series cerekote. My gun was black action and stainless barrel.

You need the bolt handle and knob I have on this gun.

Which one is that?

UM short handle and 1” ball both with black cerakote.

I've used graphite black on most of my rifles. Seems to be a good fit for any matte black scopes.

$8 worth of Krylon would fix all your problems. Just tape the scope lenses and bore first.

Several years ago I had an older action blueprinted/rebarreled and cerakoted and forgot to ship the floorplate to the gunsmith. I decided to just spray paint it. It looks great but the only spray paint I could find was about 4 shades lighter than the barreled action. Looks weird, shoots fine.

My guess would be Armor black or Graphite black

 

[SloppyJ]

Armor or graphite more than likely.

Thank all.
Cerakotes website doesn't really have hi-res pictures.

Here’s graphite black on the barrel. Pretty close match to the DLC coating on the action.

I quickly eliminated that option, thinking it sticks out to far with the 1" ball. After looking at yours and comparing my factory, it might be almost identical because yours is against the stock with no gap. I really dont want anything sticking out furthet on a hunting rifle. Would you concur that overall distance off of stock is similar to factory? It almost looks better because no gap to accidentally get opened with it being flat against the stock.

It’s better in every way over factory for a hunting gun in my opinion. They are out of stock though, shocker.
