Quote HistoryQuoted: Will I need to primer it first, or just degrease and start spraying? If you want, take a cotton ball with 70% or better ISO, rub down, let air dry, then go to town. I’ve got some rustoleum on a can that’s been there for years and lots of rounds prepped this way |

V-Series Cerakote is the best option for a suppressor...it is designed for high-temp heat cycling. They use it on exhaust manifolds, engines, etc. Jet Black is the flat black color they offer in the V-Series line, color code V-169. V-Series Cerakote is what Surefire currently uses on their suppressors.
If you insist on using a bbq paint, it would be best if you could have the exterior sandblasted to remove all the current finish...then apply the desired finish. |

Everyone has already answered what paint to use. I’m just curious why the can being tan has anything to do with using it or not

The deal was too good to pass up, and I already had other surefire cans when the purchase was made. $400 for a mini monster with the window breaching teeth is a hell of a deal, and I couldn’t pass it up plus the stamp. |

We use Norrell's Moly Resin, very durable finish. It's easy as professional enamels go, but you do need to abrasive blast the parts to bare metal & degrease thoroughly first, and you do need an HVLP gun or air brush to apply it. And of course an oven to bake it at 300°F for an hour

Pretty sure he will, with or without your LOL!
Another option would be to put a black Bowers cover on it, which would hide the FDE color save for the ends. |

Would shooting it until it's smoking degrease it??
Or does it need to be glowing? Asking for a friend |

Painting any can, even with high heat paint, ain't gonna last.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Painting any can, even with high heat paint, ain't gonna last. Oh I fully do not expect it to last! Even cerakote high heat stuff doesn’t, and I’m okay with that. I’m just looking for a simple and cheap solution without having to send the can off to someone. I fully understand I’ll have to do touch it up. But to all who have replied I have found my solution. Thanks to all. |

After getting such a good deal on the suppressor, it’s probably worth the $50 plus shipping to send it to Joint Force Enterprises for a proper coating. I know some are hesitant in sending their firearms and NFA items off, but if you can get past that then money is well worth the result.

I painted a SureFire can with a bottle of Cerakote-C (same very high temp stuff used on SF cans) and preval aerosol sprayer for a quick paint job. Wasn't bad....just make sure you prep it really good. If I had to do it again, I'd break the compressor out and use a small detail sprayer.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Enjoy your pink can Granted I haven’t used it on a machine gun, but I’ve got rustoleum camo that’s been on my Recce 5 on a 10.5” and 16” 5.56, not exactly light use, that hasn’t turned pink |
