| Looking to have my LR 308B painted. What are some opinions of Dura Coat vs,Teflon Or what about powder coating I never here anyone metion powder coating. Has anyone had theirs powder coated? What other options are out there? I am mostly interested in just one color finish. TIA |
Applied to a warm surface and then baked at 300 for an hour. It is pretty thin for being so duarble. Moly Resin |

I would think that with powder coating, you would have clearance issues. Any of the higher end coatings (duracoat, moly, etc) have pretty good wear resistance. It probably comes down to what color you might want, as some only come in certain colors, with duracoat probably having the biggest selection. |
| Duracoat is simple to apply, I dont know if you can mess it up. I have tried and so far its always come out damn near perfect. You dont need to bake it either. Its nice to have an oven I bet though. You can speed things up by baking it at around 120 degrees for about 20 min. then be sure its cooled off before you let anything contact it. The heat makes it kinda soft in my experience. Once it cools off its pretty good to handle. Overnight its good to work with and in a week or two its pretty damned hard to damage. |
