Philbucknall Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Some of you will have seen, no doubt, joint force enterprises handi work with cerakote on some fancy *albatross* real guns on Facebook. Well, there is now a UK NIC certified cerakote coater! They will be up and running next week and have fifty or so colours in already. I'm not affiliated to this company but I have been bugging them since January to get one of mine done! so when I got the email saying they're almost there today I thought I'd share the good news! Details are: Riflecraft Limited 18G Speedwell Way Border Valley Industrial Estate Harleston Norfolk IP20 9EH Tel: 00 44 (0)1379 853745 Fax: 00 44 (0) 1379 853421 Email: rifles@riflecraft.co.uk Web: www.riflecraft.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sweet. Apparently an advantage of Cerakote's treatment is it'll stick to pot alloys - can you confirm that? Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Having spoken to them at some length and also JFE in the US about it they confirm it will and JFE have done quite a few Airsoft guns in their time. If you haven't seen their Facebook page check it out for what looks can be achieved. I'm going for burnt bronze. Riflecraft ordered it specially for me after bugging them intensely!

Reppyboyo Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Their facebook has nothing on it. Care to explain what Cerakote is? Link to post Share on other sites

Reppyboyo Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cheers, looks interesting. Will wait and see for prices first. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I meant check out joint force enterprises facebook page. Don't think riflecraft have much if anything on theirs. Will see what I can find out about prices on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites
Reppyboyo Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Ahhh my bad. Had a gander and they do look pretty damn sweet. The various camo schemes done to some rifles/pistols look especially good. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 The camo schemes are actually water transfer ones BUT it can be done to a lesser extent with cerakote too. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Do they hydro transfer any modern patters like MC? I've been waiting on someone to start doing that in the UK for years. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 As far as I'm awre they are offering cerakoted only. They don't have water transfer facilities. Worth giving them a call though perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
CplHicks Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers for the heads up. I'm curious as to what the quality of the work is like. Link to post Share on other sites

CplHicks Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Most excellent. Prices are better than I expected. Whats the turnaround time on the service? Link to post Share on other sites
Reppyboyo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not bad. May send off my WE M4 receivers at some point. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think the prices are quite reasonable too. Compared to some of the US based companies and when you consider the prep work required for each piece too. Sorry don't know turn around. I know mark got my receivers and rails on Wednesday and I should have em back early to mid next week so I'd hazard a guesstimate at a week or thereabouts but it depends on workload.

Philbucknall Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 As promised, a quick pre rebuild photo of the parts received earlier today. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The complete rifle with cerakoted finish. I'll take some better photos later perhaps but these give you a good idea anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites
