marine-tex? sounds like a bad idea- if it's made for aluminum hulls and not for anodized aluminum, it's a no go.
Try using duracoat. Lauer Custom Weaponry also markets and sells Durafill which is for filling in scratches and marks. I happen to like Duracoat and have had good results. |

Thanks for the suggestions. JosephR's got me thinking about trying my hand at durafill/duracoat. I'm stuck in a rut on this OD scheme using Moly (pile 'o OD colts below) so I ordered a bunch of templates and duracoat from lauer. I'll do some before/after shots of the armalite. I'm going to do a mirageflage using blacks, tans, and greens to start with.

Marine-Tex is NOT made for aluminum hulls. It is made for sealing cracked engine blocks and cylinder heads on inboard
engines used by boats. It is DESIGNED for high heat applications.

Triggerfin- I think I know how you get dings and scratches on your uppers and rifles- you should get a gun rack made of wood, not made of other rifles lying on the gound!
 Duracoat is a nice way to go- the hardener ratio sucks. They say 10:1 or 12:1 and suggest using 6 tablespoons per teaspoon. That's 18:1 in my book. Too much hardener makes the finish very shiny. This is my rifle done in tiger stripe brown:   I've got Woodland Brown and Woodland Green still left but I'm not sure How I want to apply them...

DuraFill will give you excellent results on most materials. If you bought DuraCoat to do the camo it dose not require baking @ 300 degrees to cure. Joe Larson |

But then scratches and dings also builds character

yeah, but painting over scratches and dings on a firearm, especially an AR is like painting over rust on an old car. tacky.
