I have recently bought a new WASR-10 High cap and was planning on refinishing the gun. I was checking out the KG gun-kote and I noticed in tie directions it says this:
Now I'm totally prepared to bead or sand blast the gun, but I was thinkin the finish on those WASRs looks alot like park to me, so would it work to just degrease and then apply and bake the gun-kote on there without the need of abrasive blasting the metal? Just curious, thanks :). |

the wasr is black oxide finished. you can apply g-kote over black oxide. the only requirement is that the surface be clean and de-greased. i advise baking the grease/assembly oils out of your stripped parts prior to g-koting. matter of fact, i suggest that you bake the parts TWICE to cook out all the oil/grease trapped in the cracks ans pores of the steel. acetone wipe all surfacesprior to spraying the coating on. |

Thanks Campy ... I plan to bake the hell out of it, and then hit it with some acetone, and then bake it some more. It's a relief to know that I don't have to sand blase the gun. It's just less money I have to spend in the refinishing process. I'm hoping it turns out good, I have have heard alot of good things about gun-kote. Does anyone have any pictures of a gun-kote job they did on their ak where they did'nt sand blast? |
