I can't find straight facts about this stuff.. does the bake cerakote require a service thats sanded or no? my receivers are brand new and i wasnt sure if i have to remove some of the finish for a better "stick" or not.
Would a conventional kitchen oven be okay?

Will cerakote stand up to future SBR engraving? or will it chip?

Thanks guys

Anodized finish is fine as long as there is nothing on it such as oil or Teflon.  A kitchen oven is fine as long as you cure it at the correct temp.  I can't answer to how it will hold up during/after engraving.

You should get it engraved before you coat it.  

Get chlorine free brake cleaner and spray the living daylights out of your factory finish on the parts.  Are the parkerized or anodized?  Heat it up in the oven for a while to get any oils cooked out of nooks and crannies.  Spray it again with brake cleaner.  If these parts have never had any oil on them then you may not have to be quite as aggressive.  

Cerakote on parkerization is going to survive a nuclear blast.  Cerakote over anodized is still pretty damn stout.  

Prep work is everything.
