OK, I did my due diligence and searched on this one several different ways and came up snake-eye. I'm also not 100% certain that this is the correct place for this, but it does at least pertain to stocks and I can't come up with a better place, so....
I have a blued Savage 111 with a Boyd's FWT stock in nutmeg, and now I want to either Duracoat or Cerakote the action and barrel. My initial instinct is to go with a matte black, but I'd also like to know what other options, if any, would look better combined with the nutmeg laminate stock. As I said, I've searched here (and Google images) for examples, but in vain. So does anyone have photos of any rifles (any make/model, doesn't matter) either Duracoated or Cerakoted combined with a stock that is at least close in color to the Boyd's nutmeg laminate? Or at least links to pics of that sort?
I'd be much obliged.
Edit: On 2nd thought, maybe this would have been better posted in "Help Me Decide". If so, please feel free to move it there mods.

I think the dark park grey would look cool.
Cerakote doesn't list anything by that name, and the closest thing I can find on Duracoat's site is "Parker". Is that what you're referring to?Originally Posted by stomp442
I only use the stuff sold by Brownells. So I'm not sure but its a dark grey color.
Mate, sorry but it's forest camo.
This was cera coated a few years back.
Close enough! Thanks. It looks good. Which Cerakote color is that?
I think a silver would look cool, almost like a matte stainless.
That's the route I would have gone with the Pepper stock (or anything other finish dominated by black and/or gray tones...or blues). But with a stock dominated by browns I prefer a black, dark gray or very, very dark blue (like a blued finish) action and barrel. In fact one of my options is simply to touch up re-blue the steel and just put a clear coat over it. My main goal is to prevent the issue of occasional surface rust...but if I can improve the appearance in the process then I'll do that too.
this may be fairly close, I think it looks great!

That's exactly what I'm looking for, except for less gloss (I like a matte finish). Any idea which product and color that is?
no I don't, I found this pic on the EABCO site and thought it would give you an idea of what the black would look like. some of the guys have had good luck with the aerosol finish from Brownells or Sinclair.
I haven't tried either yet but am looking at them.
