cerakote help

[ACB84]

I was finally able to cerakote my barrel, stock block, A2 FH and stock. While im pleased with how they came out overall, they are a little to glossy when compared to the lower i was trying to match. Do you guys know if im able to just rub the cerakote with something to dull it up? I would like it to match and i dont really want to do the whole process again.

Ya you probably used to much hardner. Maybe some real fine steel wool?

Maybe low pressure media blasting will dull the finish without removing it. Or just blast if off and do it again with the right mix ratio. How are you measuring the parts?

as much as i dont want to do it i might just blast it all off and re spray/bake it. i want it to match the lower better.

Try a 3M scrubbie pad first. If you are not happy then blast recoat.

A flat, matte or satin clear coat would work, if it's compatible with the Cerakote.

i just blasted everything again last night and im going to re spray it sometime this week.

I sprayed them again today. Going to bake them tomorrow. Made sure I mixed it to get a matte finish. It looked exactly what I wanted when it air dried. Hoping it will darken up a little once it bakes. Will post pics tomorrow.
