just a dumb question...but anyone paint their gas tubes while camoing their setups? Wonder if the paint will stay or burn off?

It will burn off and smell like hell at first!

Don't worry about it, you can always clean it off it later.

If you are finishing it with Norrells, it will not burn off, and yes, I've done it.

Another reason Norrells kicks butt.

I love that stuff, I'm tempted to lay some coats on my Sig P220 that is worn.  Hell, I've been tempted to Spray a whole bunch of stuff around the house after I ran out of ARs to coat.. ;)

I was at my local auto parts store and they sell 2 different engine paints with ceramic, specd for 500 and 1200 degrees.... maybe a cheaper alternative then using the expensive stuff.hmmmm....

I've used that as well.  If you decide to use that, make sure your prep work is very thorough, preheat your item, and spray THIN coats.  Also, try to warm the can up with hot water and shake it up very well.

Cure it when you are done. Its not a substitute for Norrells, but its better than Krylon by far.
