All you guys talking about the black bottle, black button combo should think about a black atty Sniper grey over reptile would look killer with that combo!!
Sniper grey over reptile would look killer with that combo!!Unfortunately yes. I have a bunch of little chips all the way around the top edge and on the seem. That's why I want to do a clear coat of plastidip on it before it gets worse.
Hmmmm wonder what caused that? My thought is all color Cote should be cleared also. IMHO
I don't know. I baby my mods. I don't even picket carry them. They go from my desk at work to my table at home. I figured it was normal wear
I dropped mine minutes after getting it, in such a way that it skidded several feet across my gravel driveway [emoji17]
But then again, that is normal wear and tear for me.... I don't think the cerakote gods like me very much [emoji13]

Ouch. I'm not worried about mine. I love this thing and it never leaves my side. Fact of the matter is we use these things all day long 7 days a week. It is impossible for something that gets used that much to not show signs of wear.
Care to elaborate?Me and cerakote don't get along well either
The cerakoted mods and atty caps I've owned don't hold up to my extremely gentle handling very well. It appears to scratch off rather easily.
The problem isn't the ceracote as long as it's applied correctly. The issue is the substrate; the aluminum underneath. My sniper boy in 7075 (much harder aluminum) has been dropped in gravel, on concrete, on railroad ties (with steel spikes and rail) and mine is nearly unscathed. My 7068 (twice as hard as 7075 and 4 times harder than 6061) look like brand new. If I ever have an option for stronger/harder material I will always take it. I would love to see another shotgun video of the three metals just to show the difference in hardness. If you did visible damage to the 7068 I would be amazed. Bare in mind 7075 is triple the price of 6061 (stock) and 7068 is about ten times the cost of 6061 and very hard to find. I would spec bare minimum 7075 if it's to be cerakoted, but what do I know... I'm just the hammerhead that drills holes in stuff.
Hmmmmm wouldn't think that would be case with something that was designed to be used as an extremely durable firearms coating.
Correct but most firearms are not made of 6061 aluminum. Most are forged aluminum or milled out of 7075 billet (just like my sniper boy)Hmmmmm wouldn't think that would be case with something that was designed to be used as an extremely durable firearms coating.
Well that certainly makes sense. Not so much an issue with the cerakote but more of an issue with what is being applied to. All things being equal with the application process
Totally unscathed It goes with me everywhere I go when leaving home. I use it hard! The reason I wanted to go 7068 was so I would not have to worry about it's durability. You made the 7068 possible and I'm immensely grateful!! Didn't you clear one of your 7068's?
