Here's a little secret....No argument about that.. great for a hard use gun. Duracoat is still a good finish and proper prep work helps any finish. Plus it's cheaper and I can apply it with an airbrush and get good work without hauling it to somebody else.
Cerakote can be done at home too. With pretty much the same prep. Only difference is the oven cure side.
I will say, the air cure version of cerakote is MUCH better than DuraCoat.
