The shininess can be adjusted by baking it between 300-400 degrees for an hour. The hotter you go the more flat it gets. I tried it on a whim with a $289 century ak 74. I didn't have high hopes but gave it a try. That was 2 years ago and I have abused the shit out if the gun since. It holds up solvents just fine. It doesn't seem to be sensitive to bump firing or rapid fire. It is just as hard when it's hot.

Any pics? The youtube video isn't really showing the quality of the finish when paused.

I've been using the stuff for years. I think I came across it when my BBQ paint finish failed miserably. The shit is so tough that the selector lever dimple won't even scratch it. Haven't ran across any solvents or oils that could touch it either.
It's thick and shiny, so it matches the old school Russian & Maadi finishes, |

Needs to be thrown down the driveway.
That's how an AK should look.

Edit after further research...
Man I looked this stuff up on Lowes website http://www.lowes.com/pd_89137-90-7882830_4294720379__?productId=3728299&Ns=p_product_brand_name|0||p_product_description|0 ...and under description it clearly states "Do not use on objects exposed to heat (stovetops, oven interiors, etc)" I understand that the product I found was a different color... but sheesh man, this has me worried =( am I missing something? |

I am no metallurgist but aren't you starting to affect the temper of the steel in that temperature range? |

Well.... Im a believer... Used your method to refinish a combloc mag today as a tester..... its beautiful!!! definitely a finish worthy of being on a firearm!! I will use this to finish all my magazines since i like them black. but Alumahyde 2 being only about $15 bucks... I'll probably use that on my rifle just due to the variety of colors offered... but this shit works, I love it!

My reciever does not get to 400 degrees even after a mag dump or two. ETA- I am NOT saying the OP's method is bad for the gun, I am just asking the question because I honestly don't know. |

I always use Alumahyde II because I'm lazy and Brownells is based in Iowa. Oh and the stuff works good enough for my purposes.

Epoxy Appliance paint. Heated it up for 30 minutes, gave it a good coat, then let it sit for an hour. Then an hour in the oven at 350. The muzzle break was an hour at 450 with my Glock later on.
 Also did the Uzi the same way.  |

I did the same thing on a SAR-1. Used regular Rustoleum satin black. Satin black is the key. Don't use gloss.
I baked the parts at 300 degrees for three hours. Finish was great, held up to all solvents including gasoline. |
