cerakote to mimic blued finish...

[ftothfadd]

So, I have several long range, carbon fiber-stainless-plastic rifles, and while I love shooting them at distance, they are nothing like the soul of a wood stocked blued rifle. Indeed, lately I have been acquiring a couple of these classical rifles, but it continuously gnaws on me how to protect them from the elements when they are performing their duty in the wild ;-) So, I was wondering if there is a cerakote color that approximates the color and luster of blued finish? That would kill two birds with one stone, protection from the elements and beautiful, classy appearance. Any thoughts or suggestion are welcome. (I know the obvious one would be to get rid of my OCD tendencies but I am afraid I will go to the grave with them unchanged...)
Thank you, Ferenc

Duracoat has several options available. I’ve used the blue-black with good results.

I would love to match the Weatherby/Colt royal blue on my build when done

Cerakote has a gloss black that looks pretty good.
