Scope colour change

[desmodronic]

Is Cerakote recommended to change scope colour, and can it be done with no detrimental effect to a very expensive scope?

I’ve seen one or two scopes get properly gummed up when people have tried to do this sort of thing - though also seen it done well (I think using spray paint rather than cerakote).

I think I’d use a wrap (like sniper tape or vet wrap) before trying to paint it.

Would probably invalidate any warranty too I expect

I'd only be happy if done after the scope was totally disassembled into component parts. Clearly there's no one in the UK capable of doing this to a S&B. Ditto other top brand scope manufacturers.

Unless totally stripped and disassembled into all seperate pieces prior I would imagine any moving parts would have the potential to get a bit clogged

Many thanks for comments and feedback, I agree that it makes no sense to cerakote an expensive scope. So, decided to go down the Ranger Wrap route as previously used on another scope:
