So I have a barrel that was re-profiled. Heavy to pencil. I did a cheap re-bluing in a bottle.
I took the upper apart to swap hand guards and noticed the cheap bluing is not holding up too well. Is there any problem in ceramic painting the barrel. I have some super high heat paints, like engine enamel and header paint for cars. I have read that the ceramic paint might keep heat in, but is it really an issue on a semi auto gun that gets shot a lot but not sure how much heat I would be building up. |

And what did that cost you $20? Why would anyone pay more for a paint and then more to have it removed is beyond me. And then repeat the above. I don't get it What exactly is your question? I had a barrel and got it re-profiled, I happen to live locally to ar15barrels.com and he does fantastic work. So it was cheaper for me to get a barrel down the exact way I wanted in front of my eyes. After, the barrel is bare steel. I got some $7 bluing stuff at the local gun shop. But it is not holding up very well as there is surface rust developing in some spots. So I asked about High temp spray paint |

I don't get it Meh, I paid somewhere around $200 for a Patriot Brown job on an AR receiver set and barrel last year. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Then I moved to a green state and the brown just stopped appealing. Now I'm going to pay more to have it blasted back to bare metal, but I can't seem to find a vendor willing to blast it and return it to me (as I plan on doing my own refinish using Norrell's) It's only money, you can't take it with you. |
