Hello all,

I am almost finished with my 1st 80% lower. My question is what is the best for coating? The prep and spray part is not an issue. My prob is what's the best and easiest for a guy that is not planning on doing too many lowers. I'm looking at ceracoat as well as KG systems. Also what color is closest to black anodizing? I want to match my PSA blem upper as best as possible. All the furniture is MOE in black.

Thanks everyone. Any comments, tips and/or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Maybe you could get it anodized somewhere...

I used Moly Resin...think it was about $24 a bottle or so.

I sprayed it with a Preval sprayer.  No compressor needed, under $20.  

If Cerakote is thin, I'm certain the Preval would work with that too.

Worked great.  I didn't want to invest in an airbrush since I don't plan to do that many guns.
