The picture makes it look like the titanium or something with blue in it. Is that an accurate picture? Or is too much light hitting it appearing brighter? |

Quote HistoryOk. I guess you're not reading my post clearly. I'm looking for a picture that closely resembles the color. Each tungsten picture I look at appears a different shade , I guess due to lighting. I'm looking for someone will personal experience with the color, to post a picture of a tungsten coated gun and say "it looks just like this in person" |

I have used tungsten on two of my rifles. Both are what I consider pretty dark. The color wheel I have does not match the actual color. On my color wheel it would be darker than tungsten but not as dark as a McMillan grey. I could post pics, but like you said it's all about the lighting. My best description would be it is several shades darker than iPhone space gray but pretty close to my mophie juice pack helium that is metallic black. I hope this helps. I possibly could post a pic of a side by side.

The lightness or darkness of the cerakote color really depends on how much hardener is used. Also tungsten and burnt bronze photograph way lighter than they actaully are in person. |

The hardener really changes the glossyness of the color. That could effect the color but the base is the base. Also c series cerakote does not have hardener. |

Thanks for the help guys. Glad I'm not crazy for thinking the color is darker in real life

my P308 has the tungsten cerakote, I like it, its definitely not as light as that KSG. <a href="http://s1317.photobucket.com/user/apatkos22/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150523_152822_zpsf858f1a8.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t623/apatkos22/Mobile%20Uploads/20150523_152822_zpsf858f1a8.jpg</a> Nice rifle, and yeah. That's about the shade I was guessing off of what everyone said. Thank you for your input! |

It's going to depend on the picture, the lighting, the camera, your computer monitor, etc.
You will never get a true representation of a color from the internetz. If you have a swatch in your hands, that is what the color will look like. |

So all cerakote that is sent matches every swatch every time? The temperature you bake at can change the color and not every oven is the same. What about air cure cerakote? Not anything to mix or bake.You can take a sample of tungsten cerakote on any surface and it does not match the swatch. So I guess I messed that up... |

You can control the sheen with hardener, or there are actually some other methods that few people talk about, but not the shade. If you bake too long or too close to an element, you caused pigment burn, which is a product of application error. This isn't something that is caused by anything else than the painter making a misstep someewhere. A competent applicator will typically get consistent results. Or if mistakes are made there can be variations. But to say it is the paint or the chips fault for being different in these cases, is completely inaccurate. If your chip doesn't match the paint job you did, either NIC goofed on your chip, or you did on your paint job. |

Front half of this is Tungsten, I've found Tungsten to be very consistent in its color. I do tend to agree, lighting, screen brightness etc... These will always affect how you perceive the colors.

I do a lot of gray variants. I got a 60oz bottle of Titanium and mix black to make Tungsten and any shade between. Put 10ml of Titanium in your beaker and add 2ml's of graphite black. Mix and lay some out on the part to dry. If you want it darker add more black until you get what you want.
Never be afraid to mix!

I agree most of the time Tungsten looks darker in person. My Agency Arms slide is Tungsten and I was pleasantly surprised when I actually got it in my hands, in the photo I saw of it before it was shipped it appeared to be more "titanium" in color.

Same experience.
It's a deceptive color.... Tungsten looked much darker in pics than when actually sprayed. Ended up with tungsten/black mix to get it as dark as I wanted. Definitely get some black in case. |
