Anybody have any experience with this stuff? Suitable for barrels? Metal preparation, application, durability, etc?

This looks like an adequate explanation.

Thanks KB! That source covers a lot. That was the best information I have seen so far!

We have used Cerakote here everyday for the past 3+ years. I can tell you from my experience. The C series Cerakote is the high temp paint for temps up to 1800 degrees. I will use this on our suppressors only and also use it for personal projects such as engine headers/exhaust. The C series is not as scratch resistant as the H series Cerakote and it requires five days to fully cure, so beware. We use the H series on everything from our receivers, barrels, plastic parts, you name it. You are better off using the H series. It's just two extra steps like adding hardener and baking it.

Thanks, that is good to know. I wonder if any of our Forum members have used the C series for their DIY barrel finishes.

So far as I know, everyone I've seen has used the H series.

The main industry application for C-series is suppressor and machine gun barrel use, since it is rated to such a high temperature.
Other than that, I think the H-series is the way to go.

The only C series i've used was on some fireplace parts for some random dude.
