If nothing on a firearm is loc-tite shut like the barrel nut to the upper receiver, dis assembly is not too bad. It is a good time to up grade any parts if a person decides to Cerakote. It is important to degrease as I missed a spot on a camouflage hand guard I spent a lot of time on and had to sandblast and start over. Cerakote will not adhere to any oil contaminated parts. Used Glock pistols frames and AR ejection covers seem to hold on to oil like my wife holds on to our savings. I have seen AR rifles that were Cerakoted only on the outside and I didn't care for the look. I would spend the extra time and disassemble it and do it right if it was my rifle.
