Is it possible to rattlecan on top of cerakote? Will the paint stick as well as if it was on just anodized parts?

If not, what options are there for removing cerakote?

Rattle can will stick just fine on top of Cerakote (and Aluma Hyde).

Sandblasting is the best way to remove Cerakote. I have had Citri Strip remove, but it sat for a couple weeks.

Seems like it so far. Started layering this evening.

It will stick just fine, but when it comes time to strip, it will strip off easier than if you put it on raw anodizing.
