Feedback on air dry Cerakote

[E4 No More]

Looking for feedback from those who have used the air dry Cerakote products. Is it less difficult to work with than the bake on version appears to be? Is it as durable?

I'd like some information on this stuff as well.  I'm looking to paint a suppressor and need the high heat resistance characteristic of the air dry.

 

I've used the oven cure product with great success, so I'm sure the air cure will work as advertised as well.

Been spraying coatings for years...duracoat, gunkote, cerakote... you name it... love, love, LOVE the air dry Cerakote!!!... OMG it's so simple and much easier to maintain as well.... shake it up, spray it ... store the rest... Until I reach something it just doesn't work for it's all I'll use right now.

 

As with them all, the prep is the most critical .. prep it right and it will hold up.

When I did my research 2 years ago, I read hundreds of message boards and comments.  I understand the curing process for the air dry is like 30 days, vs the oven version which is complete once the baking is over.  I also remember from my research that many people are impatient with the air dry product, like using cleaning chemicals on the surface before the cure is complete, and then the chemicals damage the surface.  Otherwise I think I recall no other difference, same durability.

I would recommend alumahyde II if you are going the air dry route, cure time is long but it is VERY tough

Will it withstand the high temps associated with suppressor use?

I've used alumahyde with good results, just don't spray it on anything with tight tolerances because it builds up pretty thick
