that is very interesting. I am wondering how this is different than the Duracoat aerosol version. Is it that the colors match more like gun blue? The Durocoat comes in over a 100 colors.

I was just in Lauer Weaponry doing a transfer tonight and saw an 870 and a 1911 they had done with this. I cannot believe it's a coating, the depth of the blue and polished look reminds me of the old blue S&W revolvers. If it wears well I can see them making a killing on this stuff. Really I cannot state how deep the blue was on that 870, and they said it was not taken down to bare steel before coating.
Steve Lauer told me the 1911 was bead blasted with coarse material, sprayed, and assembled all in the course of a half hour. If tests show it wears well this could be the first Duracoat product I use. |

I had only a few seconds to snap some pics today but I am very impressed with this finish. I will post more when I get it put back together. I used the blue/black aerosol.

I will also add that your gun can have absolutely ZERO rust when using this. I noticed one small spot I missed while spraying the gun and the durablue will not cover it. I was already a few coats in when I noticed it but since it was under the hand guard I just let it be.

Can you get a closer natural lighted pic? Under the light in the pic the finish has a milky greyish haze to it. Or is that how it looks in person?

Thanks for posting this OP, this looks like exactly what I'm looking for for my hunting guns.

The crappy cell pics and poor lighting cause the finish to look milky but in person it looks pretty good. If you buy this expecting an exact match to rust bluing you will be disappointed but it is the closest match that will ever come out of a spray can. This was my first time using this product and the biggest mistake I made was poor metal prep. This stuff will appear to cover light rust but after curing it will show and cause the area around it to bubble up. So spend the extra time making sure all rust and residue is gone. The last coat is pretty difficult since it needs to be sprayed on very thick to produce a gloss finish, this is hard to do without getting any runs.

so what was your prep process and what would you do different?

Questions:
Can I parkerize under this like regular duracoat? What grit of blast media is best for the metal prep? Does baking after spraying help cure it? |
