Last year, I had a couple of 80% lower receivers anodized. They don't do gray, so I asked them to clear coat and not dye my lowers, figuring I would moly or dura coat them later. Well, I have almost no experience with an airbrush so I decided to go spray can. But, what to use. The TM specifies DFL for touchups during maintenance, so why not that. I only sprayed one of them, and this is the result. I did the receiver extension and a couple of mag catch buttons too.
The light "scratches" are from me handling the parts dry; they're slightly dusty out of the oven. They should go away when I put a light coat of oil on.

We talked about this about a week ago. This was my procedure:
I cleaned the parts in Simple Green and hot water.
Dried with compressed air.
Sprayed with DFL (I used an old can of Perm-Slik G).
Let dry for 30 minutes.
Baked in an old toaster oven for 30 minutes at 300 degrees.
Let them cool to touch in oven.
Left in open air in garage for two days.
Right now, the parts are in a box in the house waiting for me to oil them this weekend.
