Was NOT aware that Cerakote softens metals!
Think it is more of be aware of who is doing it. That one was done by a non certified cerakote applicator. Did get a refund on that job, but that did not fix the issues. Think you can do more mistakes with steel and be fine, but aluminum. Aluminum just media blasting seconds too long or in the same place will remove the anodizing production. So you have that to worry about, then did they put it on thick enough, then bake temp and time.
Before I sold it. I did email cerakote and sent it to them and they fixed it. What got me the most is it was a frame and need a FFL License to receive. Thinking ohh have FFL must be a good gunsmith/ refinisher.
But one like what they like. Example for me would be classic shaving razors. Some people like to get them revamped in gunkote vs revamp in rhodium/nickel/gold. Resell value is in the demand at that time with the market. I got this Gillette slim G3 from my grandfather when he passed, and I wanted it to look like it did when he bought it.
