Do you plan on applying the Cerakote yourself ? If so let us know how that goes.

I applied the Cerakote a day or two after I redyed them. Came out great. You have to be careful with that stuff. Don't keep going back over it; that will cause streaks. Just a smooth even coat and go over it as little as possible.

Sveedy, are the two bottles in your pic the same product, but one is turned 180 for the label?

Two different colors from a different manufactures that are connected in a round about way, from what I can tell. The gray has a note on the bottle - " From the founder of Solution Finnish ". Same bottle and directions. So maybe a split-up of some sort between founders, and one got to keep the name Solution Finnish ?

" You better not make Black. "
" Fine. I'll make gray. And you can't have ANY of it. "
" Fine. I've got the name. "

Just guessing....

Re: the Cerakote; I think Solution Finnish also makes a sealer. I used the Cerakote because I had already bought it, figuring on just using that. I'm sure it would have been great, but I was worried that if I didn't do something about the stains first, that they would become permanent after sealing.

Hi Sveedy
Could you tell me which Cerakote product you used to protect the trims after giving them the color refresh ?
Thanks

Tim
