Thread: Ceramic coating

    Ceramic coating

    I'm in the process of ceramic coating a polymer pistol frame. I plan on removing the mag release and slide stop, and taping off the rest I don't want coated. It needs to be baked at 200 degrees for 2 hours afterward. Can I leave the main parts of the frame in while I bake it? It's all metal or plastic anyway and I'd rather not remove the whole trigger assembly etc.
    Thanks for any replies

    I would remove the parts so that you are not outgassing/baking the lube into your ceramic finish. I like my workpiece to be as clean and dry as possible before performing any finish work.

    My understanding is that the quality and adhesion of the final coating depends most heavily on the quality of the prior cleaning and preparation of the part to be coated. This would make farscott’s advice the best way to proceed.
