Very informative clip...

Only next time, try to make another clip that concerns with coating on other applicances especially portable flashlights, which is popular among the rich flashaholic communities

@yazkaz we’ve taken notice of the flashaholics and watchaholics and will be putting up more gallery pictures in the near future at CerakoteGunCoatings com

I call BS on this. I know for a fact that CeraKote is not that much better than GunKote. I have tried both. Yes they both are good products, but they most certainly are not the end all be all finish these companies lead people to believe. In the end it's still just a paint on finish and they all wear. They have nowhere near the abrasion resistance of something like Hard chrome.

Thank you for taking an interest in the test results of Cerakote. We have had the Taber Abrasion test performed three separate times by three different parties, and the results were consistent throughout all tests. Cerakote, which is a ceramic based coating, has proven to have strong corrosion, abrasion, and chemical resistance, along with being extremely durable in mandrel bend and impact tests. We invite you to check out all the test results at wwwCerakoteGunCoatingscom/test­ing.

i was about to get my gun duracoated, saw this video, now looking for cerakote

@nictraining Thanks for the reply but I have done the research myself, lets call it "real world" field testing. There just isn't that much of real world difference between any of the high end paint on finishes. As for the lab test I'm sure they are a great marketing tools for you guys (especially for the uninformed), but for me these test do nothing for me. Again I have used CeraKote, GunKote, and Moly Resin. They all perform about equal IMO.

I love how extreme the announcer sounds.

I have a green 870 shotgun that 4-5 years ago remington cerakoted from factory ,has zero wear on it . However i just found out it was ceracoat ,cerakote was not as well known then either.
