Here at GunCoat Northwest we use Duracoat and have been very happy with it. We LIFETIME all our work as long as your not using it in Law Enforcement/ Military. Those guys seem to really thrash their guns and we can't cover people chucking their AR across a gravel pit.
Duracoat goes on very thin, and is unique in the sense that it is flexible. It's a 2-part epoxy base which helps the paint give a little should you bang it into something. Other coatings are hard, which can be bad because if chipped, large chunks of paint come off. As far as Durability, it has passed all mil-spec requirements including a 300 hour salt spray test. This product is used by the Coast Guard, which obviously deals with inclement weather. We have tested the product in the field duck hunting, as well as practical rifle competitions were I am slamming mags in and out of the receiver. I won't deny that they get some wear, but it's the same wear all mags get after being used. For more information on Duracoat check out our website, which has links to Lauer and other firearms related pages. Feel free to call us with any questions(# on website).
