Lazi,
Why not just rattle can the Handi?

I was only thinking Cerakote just to be done with it and not look back. After seeing the price to get it done I it will hurt to look into some options for rattle can paints.
I think the bad finish or the receiver is the main issue. Whatever will keep that from rusting will be fine by me.

If you have a hobby or small spray gun you can get the air cured Cerakote and do it at home. I use this on small parts/stocks and any heat sensitive components.

lazi,
I was surprised you were considering Cerakoting a Handi based upon the cost of the finish. Andy's suggestion would greatly reduce the cost.
I have owned guns with factory applied Duracoat and Cerakote and home-applied Krylon. Duracoat is garbage. You might as well spray the gun with a $4 can of Wal-Mart Krylon. Heat cured Cerakote is pretty durable (abrasive) and extremely durable (corrosion resistance). However, its not inexpensive.

Our deer season ends in a couple days so I have a while to decide exactly what I'm going to do. I still haven't ruled out getting a stainless rifle for the purpose of hunting in the rain. But a Handi Rifle should be fairly easy to paint so I will most likely paint the frame just for the experience.
I had always wondered about Duracoat since it got a good bit of attention as the word "tactical" become more and more popular.

Duracoat was popular then. It's not a good choice.
Krylon will bubble right off with CitriStrip if you don't like the results. Be sure to use copious amounts mineral spirits to remove all lub/oil prior to painting.

I would suggest Krylon as well if you don't want to put out for cerakoat.
