Good Day All
I am finishing my 2nd lower.. and its raw.. i was thinking of either polishing it or spray canning chrome. my question is who makes a coating it.. i know i can send it out to get dipped.. now that i am thinking about nickel would look good too... any way... back to the question who makes a good aftermarket paint |

Quoted:
I clean thoroughly, then glass bead, then rattle can with Rustoleum BBQ black. Bake for about 30 minutes, and they come out almost a perfect match to Colt anodized grey. Till the first strong solvent comes along Only thing that comes out of a rattle can I would use on a gun is AlumaHyde II |

Where did you get the tiger shark lower? I like the all-over coating, maybe I'll do that on my 2nd AR. Not mine. It's a Hellbreaker lower that I believe you can get through AIM surplus. In a thread the guy does several colors of destressed rifles using Cerakote. I have done a few colored builds. My brother has done even more and his media of choice is cerakote. I go with lower buck options..... Rattle can camo- 
AlumahydeII Earth Brown- 
AlumahydeII Coyote- 
The AlumahydeII has held up pretty well, but it's not as tough as Cerakote. Much like Cerakote, the trick to AlumahydeII is the prep. |
