I have seen a few folks asking about mixing the color ( @SWFLdude , @awd_xtc ) so I thought I would try and mix a few colors to come close. I did not want it as tan as the original but to be an in-between of the tan and the silver hand guard so I took Bright Nickel (H-157) cerakote and added (H-148) Burnt Bronze until my desired look. If you want it closer to the Honey Badger just add more bronze.

I’ve had good success mixing bright nickel with burnt bronze until I get just the right amount of metallic to mimic anodizing and then finishing the tone with benelli sand. In photos it looks no different than using all burnt bronze but, in person, the lessened metal flake looks more accurate.

Just came across this. Looks great. I’ve decided to Cerakote instead of anodizing as it’s out of my league. I’ll pass this along to my guy as I’m ready to get it done.

Thank you very much for this. I’ve been looking for a decent formula or even just list of component colors to mimic the HB and am glad to have stumbled across this thread.
