How does the stuff that isn't baked hold up? I only have experience with the baked on stuff.
No skin off my back, there are days I am glad to share the Cerakote work with anybody that wants to do it. I would rather machine parts but I seem to have a Cerakote following that I have a hard time saying no too....
I use an IWATA gun with a .8 air cap You can get by somewhat with a regular Automotive jamb gun....not well though.
The Preval would be rough.
In my opinion, if you want to continue doing this you will need to gear up to do the bake on finish. Which means a good spray gun, oven and sand blaster.
The air day has its place but will only take you so far
