Title: Cerakote fde on shotgun(not magpul fde)
Post by: spoonbill on February 11, 2017, 04:19:45 PM
Anyone have the cerekote flat dark earth on their turkey gun?  I just picked up an 870 compact 20 that I want to have coated and was considering that color. I have patriot brown on my 12 gauge and like it but may go to a different color just to switch it up but I don't know if it is too light of a shade.  Some pictures it looks good some it looks really light.

when you say 'too light of a shade", too light for what?

My taste I guess. 
Just wanted to kick around the idea.  See if anyone else has their gun done in that color maybe see a pic or two. Im at work  with a little free time :z-guntootsmiley:

And my cerakote guy/ gunsmith is out of the patriot brown and would have to order it which mean I would have to wait.  I think I could live with the fde.  Just would like to see it on a turkey gun or two for reference.

I work for United Front Armory and did the work myself in shop.
We can add a little bit of a darker or lighter shade to flat dark earth to get the shade you want.

I know this isn't quite what you asked about, but here's my 870 in a cerakote snakeskin pattern.
