Default Cerakote on a Shotgun

Is cerakote worth the money? I hunt in the rain a lot and my barrel and receiver are starting to show a bit of surface rust through the bluing. I was quoted around $350 to do the shotgun. Do you guys think it will be worth it? I really like the looks of it as well and would help with concealment in lay down blind hunting.

I think you have answered your own question. Go for it .Durability is about the same as bluing . Areas that rub will get worn off relatively quick

It shouldnt rub off if the metal was prepared properly. The new elite stuff is amazing! I had one of my 1911 match guns done including the barrel. I have a couple thousand rounds through the gun and tge coating on the barrel is not scratched or worn
