Which Cerakote Colors?
« on: January 07, 2016, 04:43:38 PM »
I've got a McMillian stock in woodland spectre coming, and I'm trying to decide what colors in going to cerekeote the barrel, rings and scope and action.

Barrel and bolt will be fluted and be a two tone cerakote.

Show me your coolest combinations!

Seriously...I like the colors that Biggerhammer came up with.

I had my Encore done in Tungsten Gray and I really like that color.

I've got a couple guns but they're all done in the Tungsten gray.
I can send you a pic of the Encore with it put together, it's in a camo stock.

That encore frame and barrel I posted above are stainless. It works fine.

 :yeah: I have had several stainless guns done. If you want to keep the stainless look go with tungsten. Turns out nice, especially with a dark stock.

What about desert sage, coyote tan, or maybe Tungsten??? 

I have rifles in Titanium, Tungston, Graphite Black, and what was supposed to be Coyote Tan but turned out more like baby sh1t tan/yellow/gold all mixed together.  I've never been one to be very creative so anymore, I just go with Graphite Black, it seems to go with just about everything.

I'd go matte black with matte scope and rings , with the black recoil pad it would look sharp.

I think the leader in the club house is graphite black primary, OD green in the flutes, OD green scope rings with scope ring hardware black. Black scope, black butt pad.

Just FYI... OD green looks bright against graphite black. It seems like it's a couple shades brighter. I would mix the green with a little black, say 75/25 and try that.

This is how it has looked to me in past.
