I recently had a muzzle brake media blasted thinking that I'd like the stainless satin look. Doesn't look bad, but it doesn't go along with the rest of the rifle either. So I'm just considering my options before taking it to get it cerakoted for ~$50. I'm a DIY first type of guy, and the $50 isn't a problem, but what's the fun in that??

Anyone ever used Krylon, Aluma-Hyde or any other rattle can coatings? Any advice or tricks for getting a nice, wear-resistant finish? It would get a thorough bath in a tub of Brakleen and then I'm thinking about 30 minutes in the oven at about 225, but I won't waste my time if it's going to flake off after 10 shots on a .300 win mag.

What say you? DIY or be boring and do it right the first time?
