Is Cerakote a meme?
What are the real benefits, how long does it last, and does it require any special maintenance when cleaning?

Salt bath nitride is what you want.
>>34134438
Benefits:
Corrosion Resistance
Easy to apply
If properly applied it lasts like forever, very durable
All colors avaiable
Cons:
Not meant to be used inside of a gun (gas/trigger components)
For Internal parts (barrel, muzzle brake, etc.) use nitriding
>>34134438
No.
It's abrasion resistant, keeps surface components cool in hot environments, can provide visual concealment, and is very durable.

Cerakote is good stuff.
Funny looking garish or ineffective patterns are retarded.

It's fine for most guns and shouldn't wear down under normal use. It's basically a poly blend coating that's been around for a while.

Yes, salt bath nitride is the answer for everything automatically.
Even when not even every grade of steel is capable of being nitride treated, it makes thin stamped steel more brittle, and the most popular firearm in the country is half fucking aluminum.
