I was thinking of cerakoting my sig p226 and my ar, I was just wondering if its possible to use a paassche air brush to do the entire job?  has anyone done this? and if so, any tips or tricks? Thanks!

i was just wondering if cerakote was to thick to spray with the air brush? and if so, can you thin it out?

Quoted:
Cerakote is about the same constancy as skim milk, which is the rule of thumb for airbrushes. I would get a cheap 0.8mm-1.0mm tip detail HVLP (gravity feed). .8 is the highest I'd go, and what NIC says to use. HVLP guns can be found cheapish. Harbor freight has one for $35, but the one I had from there was a POS. Nic sells a pretty decent one for 40. |

Yes, NIC recommends a .08mm tip, but I've have good results with a 1.0mm tip...even with the harbor freight HVLP guns |

You can find the same cheap one NIC sells on fleabay for about 25$. I consider them throw away guns. Good for hobby guys.
Their pricing on the LPH80 is decent though. I have been using a brand called Warwick. It's an Iwata knockoff. Their mini .08 guns can be found for around 135$ and are built pretty well. |

Thanks! Post pics when you finish please! sure will! but it will be awhile b/c i'm finding out that it is much more costly to do cerakote myself than just send it out.............it never fails! every time i try to save money by doing the job myself i always spend at least 3x the money it would cost to have someone else do the work
