[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 80% receiver finish

Posted: 12/9/2016 10:09:01 PM EDT

I'm about to do up a couple of 80% receivers. What is a good durable finish that I can put on them myself?

I think that I would like something that looks more professional and less redneck.

Thanks for the link.

If I had an oven I would do cerakote.

What about brushing alodine over the receiver, then alum-hyde or cerakote?

How durable is Aluma-Hyde? I have never had high opinions of paints from a spray bomb.

If you want to go with something in a spray can, this is what you want. It is a little pricey, but the best you can get out of a can.
