I've been thinking of getting some Duracoat. How tough is it, compared to Krylon camo spray paint as a reference point?

Please excuse my ignorance but does Duracoat have to be baked on? I'm in a similar situation (want to paint some plastic hardware gray) and have been looking at Alumahyde II.

More of Norrels Moly resin guy myself. Works great on plastic, but yah, it needs to be baked.

I have a (very light) green Samco G27 grip that I would like to match a CavArms OD stock. Is there a regular (e.g. Krylon) color that will provide a good match without the hassle of baking ? I'm not too worried if a bit wears off over time, as the lighter green showing through will probably not notice too much.

You can't actually back plastic furniture can you?

I always use Brownell's Alumahyde II for furniture, no baking.

DING DING DING............... Dave G taught me about Alumahyde but I cure in a BIG Counter Top Convection Oven that I also use on PCB SMT work. Alumahyde matches perfectly with ARMALITE's green. |

Why not just buy the OD furniture instead of painting anything? That would make the most sense to me, just because if you get tired of the OD you can always go back to black without having to strip paint of your furniture. Thanks Arvin

You can bake plastic parts with Norrells Moly Resin at 250*F for 1 1/2 hr (instead of 300*F for 1 hour as on metal).
The problem with Krylon, it is too easily affected by various oils and solvents. As far as match, here is Norrell Moly Resin OD on an upper with OD furniture from Armalite:

How does Krylon stand up to oil and solvents?

ya, in fact, you might spend more on the airbrush and the duracoat than it would cost to buy the OD furniture.
