JustBC Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I procrastinated on getting my M4 coated and missed the proverbial boat. Robar did a Sig 226 in Roguard/NP3 for me that is perfect. I want to get the outside parts of my M4 coated. I care about the receiver, barrel and magazine tube. I do not need NP3 on the parts (although it would be a nice to have) @StrangerDanger is there an outfit you would recommend to do some sort of coating similar to Roguard or Black Teflon? I am worried about having someone doing Cerakote as the tolerances are tight. Robar knew how to do a Benelli. who else can we trust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 If spraying just the outsides Cerakote is a fine choice. I'm looking in to Nutmeg as a NP3 replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I reached out to Nutmeg 5 days ago. So, far no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 They wrote me back and said no to plating titanium and magnesium parts. The rest would be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Good to know. Maybe I’ll try e mailing them. I sent my correspondence through their “quote” feature on the website. Perhaps that is for more commercial sized orders. Somebody probably read it and laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Anybody know what's going on with Robar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustBC Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 @StrangerDanger I will give Cerakote a shot, thanks. @truckcop I believe their plating business was not profitable and they elected to stop doing it. They still do work on polymer framed pistols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just saw that on facebook too. I sent them an email to get in line and show interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milspec Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 When they say “distributor” of our finishes I assume that means if you have a business you can get licensed to apply these process for customers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Probably more like shops who intake items, break them down and send in the parts for plating. This is my preferred method, since I don’t trust general gunsmiths for reassembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
