Camo is at best, a temporary solution imho.
Ceramic coating is a far better way if you wish to put the money in.
If its a hard wearing tool, I would argue its a sensible option.
For non working guns, its a waste unless you are a tackle tart.
Mine are working so I see the benefit of ceramics..... but would I spend a lot of money on a cerakote..... well yes but I would choose carefully. Personally, I don't shoot springers as I prefer either PCP or rim/centre fires.
Even if I did, I dont think the value of springers is worth it vs the cost of a pukker cerakote job.
Polishing poohs for me
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
