Where to get shotgun ceracoated

[jp 7saum]

Does anyone know where I could get my Benelli m2 fac and its 6 shot and a 12 shot tube ceracoated in a camo, it’s my work shotgun so is looking pretty rough with scratches and I would like it looking smart again and it’s black right now so would like it camo
If anyone knows of anyone who can do it please let me know
Cheers
Jp

dave at valkeryie rifles is a good shout

Geoff at Liquid Steel design does alot of SG work

You’ll like his pricing structure too

Is it a recent benelli M2? I only ask because mine is, and has the BE.S.T. treatment which is warrantied for 25 years.

Aye it’s the only 6 months old, it’s the m2 speed but it is fairly scratched up
But it’s not the ceracoated one, my mates got that and it is very good

Oh that's weird... maybe worth still asking Sportsman Gun Centre

Aye I thought it would be a bit more robust

And how much do people charge for Ceracoating ?

I had a barrled action done for a rifle and it was £200 but is is bombproof stuff

@Jager SA has done three rifles for me, I think he put prices up recently for cerakote

If you’re happy to post it I’ve had shotguns and rifles done by Mick at MW Guns (Bexhill on Sea). You can find MW Guns on Facebook or i can DM contact details if required.

I can't believe how much people charge, its a paint process , the only difference is the heat of the oven to bake it.

The reasoning supplied to me was that the tin of paint can't be reused for a later batch even if it's only half used and so that forms quite a hefty part of the bill.

Also, the time to blast it back down to bare metal etc.

A Benelli M2 is a working gun. Scuffs etc are part and parcel of hard use - most likely from bouncing around on quad, pick up etc. I would just live with it as cost of ceracoating is not cheap. A gunslip on the quad can make a huge difference in protecting a gun.

However fully appreciate that at over £1,000 for even a 2nd hand one M2’s are not exactly a cheap gun.

I’ve got 2 fac shotguns, a franchi which is spraypainted that I’ve destroyed which I use for rougher jobs and I was gonna just spray paint my Benelli just because I feel like a black gun sticks out a bit but because I spent a fair bit of money on it I’d rather get it done right with a ceracote job by a professional so it looks smart and cycles well after

I have a Franchi Affinity for wildfowling. I really do think they are a very good gun for the money. Possibly not as nice as the Benelli, but they are half the price of an M2 ( or were when I got mine a few years ago).

Aye there cracking guns, mine was only £800 with the extended tube but my Benelli was nearly twice that, only thing I struggle with it is it’s a little too light for the 50g 3s we now use so it kicks a fair bit but the beneli isn’t a lot better
