Bob can do bluing, parkerizing, and generally uses Duracoat.  Gary at Arctic Gun does what he calls is Arctic Kote and is the same material as Birdsong's Black-T.

Be forwarned, I was able to ship (paying FEDEX both ways) 2 guns for refinish for less than what Gary wanted from one.

Plus he is  a major pain in the ass to deal with if he doesnt like your gun

I have some black duracoat and a very nice airbrush setup. You can do it yourself if you want to Chris

The best guy in Alaska to do any kind of painting is Les at Custom Firearm Finishing. Check out his website...........

That looks nice! How much was the airbrush and compressor if you don't mind me asking?


When I had my SPR finished I used these guys. Awesome job, and fast service. www.hdps.org/

Dylan over at 7.62 Precision in Anchorage does a super nice job with the Duracoat.

You can see some of his work at  Custom Finishes.

His web sight is High Ready

The second Beretta from the bottom is mine that he did in flat black and an ammo can green. Couldent have asked for it better

Really a great guy and goes out of his way for you.

Feel free to name drop for me too :)

i got a cheap testors airbrush for porbably $15.  the compressor i got from harbor freight for under $75.  i got the duracoat before i moved up here, i had ordered it from midwayusa and had it shipped to OH.  i swore i saw some at the sportsmans warehouse, but probably dont have any colors.

I didn't paint it myself, but this is one I had done by NDPS.




I'm going to do the next one myself.

Mike I like the Alaska urban camo!!
Hey with part of my PFD I`m investing in a decent compressor for media blasting, a blast cabinet, and I already have Gunkote on the way up. I swear when properly prepped, Gunkote is indestructable. On Aluminum Ar`s though I imagine Duracoat might be better.
