If you wanted something like this:
One could cerakote the parts white and full cure. Use a cheap aerosol flat black pant and whip off the areas with acetone. If you screwed up would be easy to remove the rest of the black. The downside would be avoiding some harsh solvents when cleaning. Am I off base? I've only cerakoted my own guns and suppressors so far and they were all basic jobs. I guess you could always clear cerakote over it. The other options would be clear coating it afterward or doing the black coat but removing most of it prior to baking otherwise it would be too much to sand off? |

So, are you just trying to avoid respraying the entire thing?
The best option is a 2 color job where you spray the base white, flash cure it, then spray the black in the "highlighted" areas you want. I do the second color with an airbrush myself. Then another flash cure, pull it out and distress it a bit with whatever you prefer to use, and then final bake and call it a day. I don't use spray paint with cerakote myself. I know there's a gas off phase you'll need to go through if you do spray paint, and personally I wouldn't use any clear (If you insist on clearing it) until it has gassed out. Otherwise you risk a reaction if there is one. |

So, are you just trying to avoid respraying the entire thing?. I just wanted a similar look to as pictured. I think this was done not the "normal" distressed way where the top coat was sanded off because the white would have been difficult to sand off in the hard to reach areas. I don't have air brush but was thinking of removing the spot sprayed black with cotton balls, or solvent soaked cotten balls or rags, and then sanding. I have a stripped upper to test on. |
