I may have misunderstood you, silver, but just to clarify, Armoloy IS a hard chrome finish. In all honesty, I truly believe Cerakote is the best option for the stated purpose, as mentioned earlier. It is more durable than parkerizing. It is reportedly the most wear resistant of all the spray on finishes, only surpassed by the hard plated finishes, and my experience with it sure bears this out. In addition, it's not too hard to find companies who apply it, it's not too expensive to have it done, and it's offered in many different colors. It is the standard finish used on the NoslerCustom, Serengeti, and Empire rifles, just to name a few.
This is the outfit that I used for Cerakote finish. They did a great job on my rifles. They used to be called "Fit 4 Duty," the original company who applied the finish to the NoslerCustom rifles.

It depends. If you value a super-durable finish, then yes, it may be worth the difference in price tag. The trynite finish is not a TiN finish, but it is similar, applied using the same process -- physical vapor deposition, done in a vacuum furnace. It is definitely super durable and corrosion resistant.

My bad... It is Metaloy that has been great about answering my questions. Armaloy is also a hard chrome. Now, let me re-phrase this... Any coating other than hard chrome will show wear on the high spots. Even hard chrome can show wear under extreme conditions, like moving parts without an oil film. If you have a marine application, say you live near the coast, then you want it hard chromed.
