I'm taking the plunge, I'm going to apply a foliage green moly resin to my Alpha rail.
I've done quite a bit of reading, and as always with the internet, some people say you can apply it to a matte finish anodizing like the Troy alpha rail, and some say it needs to be media blasted. I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with it, and how durable it would be on the Troy alpha rail's finish as is. Reason being––I'm not really in a good location for media blasting, finding a metal shop somewhere is a bit of a challenge. |

Yes..... Just clean the rail thoroughly and spray on directly. Moly adheres the anodizing very well. If the rail has been in service I recommend heating it up in the oven for 15-20 minutes and then re-cleaning it before spraying. You would be amazed at where oil and lube will get into. The heat will draw it out. I've found Moly to be the easiest heat cured to use. Moly REALLY adheres good on Parkerization, but will not to blueing. Blueing must be sandblasted (not Glass beaded).
