Stopped by a local pawn shop and they had an used Colt AR-15A4 light weight carbine with the factory applied "Muddy Girl" finish...  Not too crazy about that look at all and I was wondering how difficult would a professional refinishing business have in removing it and then applying a more correct looking cerakoat black finish...  "WITHOUT" damaging/filling in any of the factory stamped markings??

Thanks for looking!!

It's that pink/camo pattern?



Cerecoat needs a stripped surface to adhere to....so that would need to be done to apply it correctly.

This.  It could be stripped pretty easy I think.

It'd have to be blasted to cerakote it anyways. Depending on the clear coat they may or may not have used, it probably wouldn't be much more prep work than any other AR out there. If it's a thicker clear, or harder, it might take a little longer to blast through, but once the blasting is complete it's no different than any other refinishing job.
