    Color matching

    OK, so here's the deal. I own a Redding T-7 and a Redding Big Boss plus an RCBS power trimmer and their case prep center. I now have decided to get a Hornady Co-Ax press and it's being shipped out to me.

    The problem is, all of my stuff used to be green, and now I'll have a red reloading press, which will stand out in marked contrast to all of the other equipment on my bench. So, I've decided to send the Co-Ax press out to have it Cerakoted to match my green reloading equipment. Or maybe I'll have the Todd Griswold, a gunsmith in Ventura, do it.

    My question is, does anybody out know of a color of Cerakote that will match Redding and RCBS green? Or should I just go crazy and have it coated in Cerakote Zombie Green?



    I can't wait to have this done...I promise that I'll post pictures of the Co-Ax after it's been coated.

      Not sure if Cerakote has a color that matches either Redding or RCBS green (they are different).

      Maybe drag a piece of equipment to a store that sells automotive paints?

      Kind of like Bruce Jenner, but the rifle still has a bolt.

          Duracoat has a huge color palette, maybe check with them?

              I thought of that, but if I can't have Cerakote, I want Durakote. Know of a nice color of Durakote that might work?

                      I'm really liking that Cerakote Zombie Green, though. The more I think about it...

                          But then you would have to paint ALL of your equipment.
                          What are you reloading for?

                              To save money, of course! And it's cool to reload!

                                  I'd go with something different. Old CalTrans Orange?

                                      Isn't that more like a Lyman color?

                                              6.8? 300BLK?

                                                  Yes, those. I'm working on some good loads for hunting pigs and deer. And 223 when I'm just slumming it.

                                                  Oops, I meant 5.56x45.

                                                      Cool.
                                                      I'm not much of a hunter but isn't the 300 a bit much for those?
                                                      I know some guys that use 6.8 for pigs.
