 No complaints. They do factory work for a couple gun manufaturers.

If you meant cerakote, you're talking apples and oranges.
The cerakote is a durable, protective type finish like durakote and other similar products, the hydroprint stuff is cosmetic. There's no protective or durable properties to the hydroprint stuff. It just looks cool.
Thats the way it was all explained to me in the past anyway.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Bingo!!! I Cerakote my stuff, I've held the dipped stuff and it does nothing for me. I can put a dent in it with my finger nail.

Theses are the guys that did two of my friends AR's it cool looking stuff but cosmetic as far as I'm concerned compared to Cerakote.
