The smudges are best dealt with by baking them, then grinding them off, re-coating, and baking again. When they smudge, they really smudge.

That sounds like the voice of experience gained from an unfortunate incident. Good info to have though.

Speaking of cerakoting, who do folks here know of that does nice cerakote work on parts sent to them? Although I had a great experience with Brooks coatings in Sherwood, Oregon, I'm always looking for anyone who does nice work at reasonable prices.

I think both I and jwilson1985 do it. I had one of my uppers that I was looking over in bright light to ensure I had 100% coverage of the part, when I dropped it on the cement. It picked up dirt particles, sand, and other debris. I had to brush off as much of that as I could, bake it, and grind down the smudges, then coat and bake again. This is not your typical Duracoat or PTFE-based paints with epoxy hardener. It is literally a ceramic mud at a microscopic level that is mixed with a hardener, then baked-on for 2 hours. It is extremely difficult to remove with grinding or wire brush wheels, and just kinda polishes over if you don't use something aggressive.

Templar does it as well, LRRPF52 and JWilson are competent also.
If you need something really complex call Templar

For the plastic parts, you bake it on at a lower temperature as to not melt it. It can be applied to wood & plastic and baked without issue at 200 F.
