Has anyone coated the TranQuilo?  I want one, but the color is a no-go for me.  I would like to have it coated in black to match the rest of the rifle.  I am looking for suggestions, recommendations, concerns, chili recipes, etc.

That color is half the reason I want a TQ.

But I suppose you could use a trusted suppressor coater or refinisher. I don't think it would be any different than other suppressors? Not sure cerakote holds up to the heat?

Just not my thing.  I just prefer my rifles like my coffee...black with a splash of Jameson's.

No, I haven't made it glow...yet

It's just seen the miles and while the rifle still looks good the can's finish is all kinds of scratched and banged up.  Maybe I'll get a pic tonight.
