That is the stuff though I normally order straight from KG. There is a trick to making the coating look right though and again I got this from Ed. You have to apply it with an air brush. Anything else will spray it on too quickly and it will look like plastic. Both Ed and I use the cheapo airbrush from Harbor Freight. I just hook it up to my air compressor, turn the PSI down and spray. The trick is to adjust your airbrush so you can barely see the Gun Kote coming out. Apply lightly and bake at 300F for one hour. The clear also will work for protecting a regularly etched blade too any blade I etch (San-Mai, Go-Mai or layered) gets a light coat of clear if I do not do the black/clear method.
