You can order from cerakote directly. Shipping is faster and cheaper.

If you can airbrush anything, you can air brush cerakote, the manual is pretty straight forward, getting the correct coverage is key but easy if you've got any air brush experience. Just don't spray it on to thick.

Like anything else, sounds like its all about the prep.

like another mentioned by direct and get it faster and cheaper. I use a husky hvlp gun from home depot now but i started out with the one I got from cerakote. You can always see if you can find a blast cabinet like harbor frieght or something to start with. I have heard of guys spraying over existing anodizing but have not seen it first hand yet. The trick is to have clean dry parts. Also The oven you use if you do enough parts will always smell like urinal cakes. Thats the best way I can describe the smell lol. I got pretty lucky and scored used blasting long ago and a lab oven to bake my stuff in. Where are you located? you can get inline water traps from auto body supply stores that you can mount right at the sprayer that help a lot with trapping water. Grainger also has them as well as mcmaster carr. Good luck and post up the finished product! Its addicting by the way you will soon start looking for things to coat, Also get yourself a respirator after the first couple jobs I did I realized even at a really low spray pressure you will still be sucking in quite a bit of crap.

Thank you for all the responses. After researching it a bit more, it appears there is more gear (tools) to buy, and make room for. I don't really want to add a blasting Cab. to my shop. I had hoped that I could clean, rough sand/scuff the surfaces, clean, bake and paint. So much to learn. Perhaps I should start with a bigger work shop?

I contacted 80 Arms again regarding their Anodizing service, and it does not appear they will be in Anodizing Service any time soon (if at all).

Ahhh...I see a spray can in my future.

Home anodizing is easier to set up then home Cerakote, Look at the Caswell kit

This is an instructional video from Cerakote themselves


And if you've got half an hour to kill you can see how Nutnfancy coated his Glock
