To answer your question........top one has over 3,000 hard (training classes, practice, etc., NOT bench time) rounds through it, at is still holding up just fine. I have personally seen wit hmy own eyes, almost a dozen others that see non-babied use, and look just fine as well.

Not a drop of clear coat on them, or any of the others I have done.
Wipe off with a dry wrag. Spray. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Go shoot. |

I camo'd my Bushy last weekend and played hell just geting it of the rails enough to get my ARMS Aimpoint mount to close. As tough as that was I am assuming it will be pretty durable. The best part is I have $18 in supplies, and still have enough left for another rifle!

It really helps, if you want the paint to last well, to clean the AR with mineral spirits and then rubbing alchohol. Then, do the base coat in several light coats with time between them for the paint to dry. This will greatly reduce chipping and scratching.

Thanks guys!
It was a lot of fun to do after getting over the shock of spraying that first coat.  This was a test of some templates made by one of the members here. |
