A: yes it is a very good finish and should last you a lifetime

A: Hi Jeff, that depends on your definition of durable. That is a very subjective question. It all depends on how rough you are going to be with it. By many uses, do you mean shots fired, times drawn from holster, or something else. It is impossible to answer, but with normal use, it should be durable.

A: Good evening to you!! Below is the testing done to see how durable Cerakote is:<br />Durability Testing Methods:<br />Salt Spray Test:<br />Cerakote, like other coatings, is tested for corrosion resistance using a salt spray chamber, where parts are exposed to a salt solution to simulate corrosive environments. <br />Impact Resistance Test (ASTM D2794):<br />This test measures the resistance of coatings to deformation under impact, with Cerakote demonstrating high impact resistance, according to Acoating. <br />Abrasion Resistance:<br />Cerakote's resistance to wear and tear from friction is tested through abrasion testing. <br />Chemical Resistance:<br />The ability of Cerakote to withstand exposure to various chemicals is assessed in chemical resistance tests. <br />Flexibility:<br />Cerakote is tested for its flexibility, which is important for applications where the coated material may bend or flex. <br />Real-World Testing:<br />Some tests involve exposing Cerakote-coated parts to

A: Very durable with normal use.
