ultravista Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I am considering refinishing my M4 receiver and weighing the options. The options are re-anodized or Robar's Roguard coating.If you were me, would you have it reanodized or go with Robar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiler Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Another option is Cerakote. Good Stuff! http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravista Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was leaning towards Robar as they do a lot of Benelli work. Their flagship product NP3 (H2O) is pretty cool. I don't want a shiny matte finish though. I heard Cerakote is better than Duracoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravista Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I called Benelli about re-anodizing and they suggested ALUMA-HYDE, a rattle can paint. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1119/Product/ALUMA-HYDE-reg- I don't really want to paint my receiver ...

marc63 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I like anodizing best. What happened to yours? Either anodizing or Cerakote would require a processor with an FFL. I'd be interested in hearing where you send it in the latter case, since I have a 22lr bolt gun receiver I want Cerakoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravista Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I got my M4 third-hand. The second owner did not know what the first owner did. What I do know is that they did not treat it like a $1500 investment. The receiver has seen better days; it looks like it slid around in the bed of a truck for the last two years. The receiver is a mess and ugly. Yeah it is a functional weapon but I would like to have it look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
