Like the subject line says, I'm building a Aero Precision M5E1 with 15" Enhanced Handguard. Going to be running a Ballistic Advantage 24" Heavy Fluted barrel and wanted to know should if I should cerakote the barrel in black or have it Titanium Nitrided? Upper, lower, and furniture will be black.

Building several Polymer 80 glocks and one has a TiN barrel and It think it looks pretty good. TIN coating a 24" barrel may be too much though.

For under a black handguard I think sniper grey would be a good color. Slight contrast without getting too crazy
