Anodize or Cerakote aluminum pistol frame?

Gunsmithing 80% Builds

I am thinking of doing a 80%. p229 or aluminum frame 1911. I am probably only going to make 1 or 2. What do you think would be the most cost effective?

Cerakote. It adds luberisity to the parts and is tougher than anodize. Better yet, do a type 2 hard coat, no color… then Cerakote.

Yes, I am not the worlds greatest speller. I rely upon auto correct a lot.

Cerakote, done correctly, is superior to almost everything available.

Cerakote for sure
The cost of the tooling to complete 80% frames is pretty pricey to only build one or 2
