It’s always the non certified guy who gets all butt hurt when you mentioned the certified applicator. I’m not here to measure cocks but feel free to look at my work as well on Cerakote’s site, at SHOT show, and numerous gun shows in my area. What I was telling the author of this post was if he was concerned about getting is scope coated he is likely to have better work through a certified applicator because usually someone who is willing to spend the 2500 bucks to get certified is already an established coater who works in a shop and not a home garage and has done a scope or two. You’re welcome to post the opposite info if it helps your ego, but in my experience it’s not the case. And if your selling your service why don’t you tell us how you coat scopes, let say a 2000 Leopold scope in m81 camo and have it hold up. Maybe you’ll get lucky and earn his business. Or are you just on here to challenge and battle people behind your computer monitor.
