Good? YES Bad? Easy? YES Pain in the Ass? who's done it? I HAVE did you do a pattern? or just straight color? did you disassemble your receivers? or just paint everything? (mag release, bolt catch, safety selector, etc.) The ones I have done or just black. I did have everything disassembled. The stuff is really really easy to use. Some say it scratches easy, But I have never had a problem with that. I probably put 5 layers of it on mine |

The tricks to duracoat are:
Degrease and clean all parts really well. Don't handle any of the parts with bare hands afterward. Don't touch anything after you paint it for a day or two. Don't assemble it or touch it with bare hands for a week. Don't shoot it or rough handle it for 3-5 weeks. Don't paint an AR barrel with a light color of duracoat (at least non-high temp duracoat). Do these things and it will last very well. Personally I don't have the patience so I like to use bake-on finishes. Norrells, KG Gunkote etc. |
