Yes, I have cerakoted tons and tons of them. It holds up well except for some kydex holsters, those things are kryptonite.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Any pictures of FDE/Green coated work you've done? I'll likely carry one of them in a kydex holster pretty often, I didn't consider wear.. Good point. Thank you. Not Glock but just did this to a plastic frame: 
Magpul FDE 
OD Green The slide is really what it looks like I do not know why these pics came out so dark

Quote HistoryQuoted: You do have tons of pics... Should be sufficient. After the cerakote is the frame sticky at all? Will I lose much depth of the grip material? |

I already pasted them above lol. No, it is not sticky at all and there is no difference, cerakote is really thin applied correctly. Like I mentioned about the only thing that will mess with cerakote is a kydex holster, they will really wear anything coating wise. |

The slide and frame both on my G19/4 is gray Cerakote done by Lipseys if I remember correctly. I like it, that said I noticed in recent days along the upper edge on both sides of the slide it seems to be wearing which I presume it to be holster wear.
I would buy it again, no regrets. |

I brought a brand new Gen 5 to a place in Houston that claimed to be a gunsmith shop and applicator. I don’t think the guy really knew what he was doing after talking to him, but oh well. What’s done is done.
As you can see from the pic, the frame and texture chipped after 100 rounds. I let it cure for a month before I shot it. Curious if folks have had better luck?  Attached File Attached File |

We cerakote a ton of frames all the time. Holds up great if cleaned and prepped correctly. Of course kydex will wear it. It wears it on slides too though. |

Quoted: Here is a OD cerekoted Frame with stippling. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/299341/A11A6A31-B2F2-45C9-844F-459C14A20BCE_jpeg-914704.JPG ETA: it's not that zombie shade of green. Can't capture the color accurately Quoted: That doesn't matter with cerakote. The second it comes out of the oven, it's 100% as cured as it's ever going to get. Judging by how black that frame looks under the coating, it didn't get blasted properly. When a Glock frame is blasted correctly before cerakote, the rich black sheen is gone. We cerakote a ton of frames all the time. Holds up great if cleaned and prepped correctly. Of course kydex will wear it. It wears it on slides too though. |

Like everyone else has said. Holds up great! Will not chip if applied correctly.
I have a sig p365 that I did The frame on. I carry it in a custom tight molded leather holster. Slight wear on the high spots. But I carried it everyday 24/7 for around 6months with daily plinking. Now it’s my truck gun and carry a 48. I’ll try and get pics of the spots. Cerakote is great stuff if applied correctly. |
