It’s cheap, easy, and effective.

I can send out a rifle for cerakote and it’s gonna cost north of 300-500 dollars, shipping, insurance, assembly, disassembly etc.

OR

I can spend $40, get a whole mess of colors, and throw some paint down while breaking up the outline of the rifle.

Why don't more people try something like Duracoat, KG Guncoat, or one of Brownells spray-on finishes for firearms? It provides a nicer finish than rattle can and is easier to apply than Cerakote, IIRC. I think there is a rattle can option to apply Duracoat.
