How does Cerakote compare to a hard chromed finish?
Cerakote is available in a wide variety of colors including flats, mil-spec colors, and metallic’s. The negative of hard chrome is once you hard chrome your gun you cannot make changes such as lightning cuts, checkering, and the like due to breaking the hard chrome finish. Once you cut into your hard chrome it will allow rust and corrosion to enter the surface. With Cerakote you can make these types of changes or change colors without any problems. Using Cerakote you get a very durable finish with corrosion protection and the flexibility to truly customize your firearm.
