there's a thread on flat dark earth, and a thread on foliage and olive. can we get a thread started on burnt bronze?
there seems to be an endless variation in color depending on available light and camera settings. if you've shot more than one material it'd be good to see how it turned out as well. any burnt bronze color combo's are welcome too, i've heard of adding in a bit of black for a darker look. mods - if this needs to be moved to refinishing fine, but i thought posting here would get more attention since this is where i've seen the majority of burnt bronze pictures in various threads. c'mon let's see 'em!!

So who does quality Cerakote applications? I have a stripped lower I would like to try this on? I live in an appt and don't have access to the neccessary equipment so I would have to pay somebody to do this. Also any chance this can be done to a complete upper reciever (Just the outside) without having to remove rails and barrels?

I would Google it and check out a few different companies ... their work, reputation, etc. I use JFE / WW Guns for all my refinishing needs. They've always done great work with fast turn around times. A complete upper needs to be stripped so everything can be blasted and all oils removed for proper Cerakote application. |

No personal experience with these guys but everyone that has had their gun coated here seems to love them. Also did Costa's rifles iirc if you care about that sort of sillyness. ETA: beat to it

The scratches will show. Just go to a local machine or autobody shop. I'm sure you could get some one to do it for next to nothing.

He took the barrel and I traded something for the upper. |
