Cerakote is a very tough spray on finish that is impervious to any harsh chemicals including some acids. There are two types of Cerakote, oven cure and air dry. Oven cure is extremely durable but limits its application to things that can go in an over at 250deg for 2 hours.
Process is very time consuming and can be difficult. Strip down bow and sandblast all parts to be painted. Wire everything so it can be hung in an over after painting, or just air dry, depending on which kind you are using. All parts then have to be dipped in acetone to remove any oils that would prevent the Cerakote from sticking. Spray on the Cerakote and bake or let dry then reassemble the bow. Honestly it sounds easier than it is. Spraying something as intricate as the HTR riser is a major undertaking with all the square holes and odd angles.
Some parts are not able to go in an oven due to the high temp, so air dry is used instead of the oven cure.
And no, I can't do a bike. In fact I don't do Cerakote much anymore. I used to do it as my full time job.
