I'm going to have my Noveske stripped lower refinished in Cerakote to match the upper of my DD MK18. Anyone with Cerakote experience have a MK18 and know the best black (not the FDE han guard) color to use for a good match?
TIA |

You want to paint a black receiver black, to match a black receiver?
I'd say leave it as is. |

All blacks are nit created equal. The Noveske lowers are nice, but they have a purple hue. Here's mine: 
I figure that since I needed to get it engraved and it's already stripped, now's the time to get it matched up. Thanks Quote HistoryQuoted:

Only way to get a 100% true match will be to take the upper apart and cerakote the stripped upper/lower at the same time.

ETA: Armor Black is really flat. It's so flat it's almost chalky. Graphite Black is a much better color in terms of a "factory-like" finish. |

I was starting to feel like I was crazy, but that color need s to be matched... Or maybe I will just make the whole thing FDE. |
