Color Fill and cerekote

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Color Fill and cerekote

Hey guys,

So I am having some things coated. I usually fill in the marking on my lower receivers with Testors paint. However, I have never done this on a cerakoted item.

I usually coat the markings and rub slightly with acetone on my non cereakoted parts. I assume acetone is probably not safe for cerakote, would "non" acetone based nail polish remover work? What do you guys suggest?

I used nonacetone nail polish remover and worked just fine

You can use regular Acetone for that. Cerakote is pretty chemical resistant. Here is a lower I color filled with Cerakote and wiped the excess with acetone:

Sweet! That looks very very nice! I was a little afraid to use it, thought it might cause an issue, but now I will try it. I have color filled non cereakoted things in the past and used acetone or nail polish remover with that in it. Worked well. some say to use Hoppes 9 as well - not sure on that one.
