Don't know of any Cerakote people in the area, but I believe the 2A store does Duracoat if you decide to go that route.

Just as the title reads I am looking for someone who can cerakote a lower for a good price with quality work. I live in Flagstaff and everywhere online charges as much as I paid for the lower plus shipping to and from. I never have any reason to go down to the valley so that has been out of the question. Many thanks. Try talking to Eric or Evan at Ruff's they may know someone. Or try Prita at Horizon Shooters. Good people all the way around. Tell them Guy @ Fathom Arms sent you. |

Haven't heard good things... They are not the worst place I've been to, but they are not great. Ruffs for me is the best gun store in town. Horizon has a great selection but damn those prices, I can actually get stuff cheaper at Scottsdale Gun Club. |

Horizon does have a premium, but damn I love those guys. Two gun shops that make you feel at welcome and not feel like your bothering them. |

To be fair, one of the guys did catch his foul mood before I left and knocked 25% off my ammo purchase and apologized. |

Duracoat is just a paint job. Cerakote is a whole new finish.
If you want a good Cerakote job close to Flagstaff, check out LRK Mechanical in Prescott. Otherwise go with X-Werks in Phoenix. Both are good to go. |

Treat you poorly and they think a discount makes up for it. If they hate working in a gun shop and interacting with people they should find a new job. Hearing stuff like that is frustrating to me. You would think since we are all fighting the same fight (pro 2A) they would be a little more open and accepting of anyone interested in expanding/exercising their rights. |

Thank you all for the replies. I've gone to the 2A store before and got some ridiculous story about how Cerakote flakes off and will not hold up well at all. After that they recommended Duracote and said it will hold up even better. And provide superior corrosion resistance. I've known the owner and he started the store with the goal of not being like most lgs's but he and his employees constantly ignore me and help their friends. I have had similar experiences with Ruffs and Preda over at Horizons has a terribly long wait for any kind of work to be done.
Rizzo thanks for the tip I will just have to check out X-werks. Maybe my wife and I can swing a drive down this weekend. |

Maybe my wife and I can swing a drive down this weekend. That is completely backwards on Duracoat vs. Cerakote. Duracoat is just a fancy paint job. In fact, if you want to use Duracoat or even Krylon rattle can then it's recommended that you apply Cerakote first so that you'll have a solid base to work from and then you can remove whatever paint you apply to be 'mission adaptable' and the Cerakote color will still be there. Cerakote is actually stronger than a lot of factory finishes, and the best choice for suppressors because it gets harder as it gets hotter. If you want a shorter drive, I can highly recommend the guys at LRK Mechanical in Prescott. Prices are probably a bit cheaper, as well. X-Werks has done several firearms for me in the past, but they are pretty busy down there. |

I'm glad ruffs is carrying more AR stuff these days, and I heard they are doing suppressors now too? I look forward to seeing what you have in there. |

Alright Guy, maybe we could go in together and start a cerakoting operation in Flag???
I have at least 4 guns we can practice on and would go perfect for your operation. Also call me about the 2A store, give you my opinion over the phone.

I had a good experience when I went in there before the HTF shoot. I have a feeling Eric is at the helm now and thats why were seeing a positive (read progressive) shift. The old days when you could buy a ammo, porn, and beer in the drive through are long gone :) |
