I have seen a few folks asking about mixing the color ( @SWFLdude , @awd_xtc ) so I thought I would try and mix a few colors to come close. I did not want it as tan as the original but to be an in-between of the tan and the silver hand guard so I took Bright Nickel (H-157) cerakote and added (H-148) Burnt Bronze until my desired look. If you want it closer to the Honey Badger just add more bronze. Grabbed from the Internet as a Reference:  |

| I’ve had good success mixing bright nickel with burnt bronze until I get just the right amount of metallic to mimic anodizing and then finishing the tone with benelli sand. In photos it looks no different than using all burnt bronze but, in person, the lessened metal flake looks more accurate. |

If some of you put this much fervor into your community or church, instead of arguing with people voting for the same politician, the world would be a much better place. -Skg_Mre_Lght
| Great ideas. Been wanting to ceracoat an upper/lower/handguard/buffer tube combo to mimic NP3 |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.
