From DIY Disaster to Done Right.

This Ruger AR-556 came to us after a well-intended spray paint job… didn’t quite go as planned. Uneven coverage, flaking, overspray, and poor adhesion can turn a solid rifle into a maintenance headache fast. That’s where proper prep and professional coating make all the difference. The Fix We stripped it down and refinished the rifle in Cerakote H-30118 FS Field Drab, adding clean H-190 inlay work for contrast and detail. The result is a smooth, even, durable finish built to last not peel. And yes… as a lighthearted nod to how it arrived, we added a small “dumpster fire” graphic on the side just a reminder of the transformation. The client had a good sense of humor about it, and honestly, so did we. Cerakote brings more than color: ✔️ Proper adhesion when professionally applied ✔️ Corrosion and wear resistance ✔️ Even, non-glare finish ✔️ Long-term durability over rattle-can attempts ✔️ Ruger AR-556 platform ✔️ H-30118 FS Field Drab base ✔️ H-190 inlay detailing ✔️ Full strip, prep, and professional refinish There’s nothing wrong with DIY until it goes sideways. When it does, we’re here to fix it the right way. 📩 Message us for Cerakote corrections or custom finishes 🇺🇸 Veteran-owned | Military & First Responder discounts available
