I posted this in a now deleted thread a few months ago. I'm sure there are better options but this is what I bought and it works well for the price. The blast media is a higher grit than Cerakote recommends but I haven't had any issues with using it, my finish comes comes out nice and smooth. Here is a link to the Cerakote training manual, give it a read to see the process.
$120 Benchtop Blast Cabinet (make sure you use a 20% off coupon)
$45 50lbs Aluminium Oxide blast media (make two trips, use another coupon)
$40 Dewalt Touch-up Spray gun
$8 Oil/Water Separator
$18 3M Respirator
$8 Powder Free gloves
$14 5ml Glass syringe for easily measuring small amounts of H-Series catalyst. Not necessary but nice. (Grainger.com)
$20 Gallon of Acetone (hardware store)
$30 for misc hoses/fittings
$$$ Container for soaking parts in acetone. I use a 50cal ammo can for almost everything
$$$ Oven for curing if using H-series. I use an old large toaster oven.
$$$ Air compressor with regulator (I already had this)
$$$ Cerakote (plus mesh strainer, graduated cylinder, tape, etc)
$300 not including the compressor, Cerakote or oven.

Like the other guy said, there are other finish options available but I've never tried them (yet) so I can't comment there. I have been very happy with Cerakote. Proper preparation really can't be stressed enough, I'm sure that applies no matter what finish you decide to use.
This one right here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6L7NTM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XW5rDb182PSFM
