Re: Cerakoting a CZ-75
AR has a point. The earlier CZ 75's were in some instances a bit rough. Not that Gun kote would be a issue though just from a point of smoothing out the rough spots. Back in the day many of these were hard chromed without issue even when newer.

Re: Cerakoting a CZ-75
This gun has been quite hard to "cock" as it was not fired for the first 28 years since it was purchased by my dad (1989)
When I took it over in 2017, did a service on it - really battled to even open it up
Only shot approx 150 rounds a year on it since then. But has been cleaned/oiled after every shoot.
Its a lot easier to work with at the moment, compared to a few years ago. Spring did a little bit of work.
But compared to my mates CZ-75B - mine still feels like a virgin

Re: Cerakoting a CZ-75
My Pre B was hard chromed at something roughly around 10k rounds when it still had visible machine gouges (rather than marks) on the rails. I chose to chrome back then, despite me not being a perlemoen poacher, as there weren't a lot of accessible and effective corrosion preventers and as my edc it's little bit of remaining stove enamel was wilting under the onslaught of my acid sweat. They certainly were roughly finished in some cases and I don't know that they came in intentionally different levels of finish machining in the earlier days but I have seen a wide range on low mileage examples from really good to chicom AK level so I assume they did. An interesting aside is that after another 10 years of daily carry and a round count above 50k that hard chrome is still completely sound and there is zero corrosion. Anyone who doubts the efficacy of industrial hard chrome as a firearm finish for reasons other than aesthetic ones should consider why rifle barrels are lauded for having it.

Power tools take metal away and when its gone it cannot/very difficult to replace. If it is a bit rough I normally take a pot scourer and "buff" all the places where metal makes contact with metal. After the scourer treatment every thing is as smooth as "silk". Try to scratch a smooth surface with your nail, buff it a bit with the 3M pot scoures and then scratch it again.
Then use good gun oil. I prefer Slip2000
