I did a few guns in od green and black.
Didnt do my Ar15 yet. Make sure you have all the grease and oil off everything. I like to soak stuff in laquer thinner and hang to dry. As for spraying it, its pretty easy to do. i have a paasche air brush and i use light spray so i dont get any runs. have plenty of ventilation though. |

It's fairly tough paint. I have an AR that was Duracoated by Lauer Custom Weapons. The paint wore off where the ejection port cover contacts the rifle when it is open, and around the bottom of the mag well from clumsly reloads, but over all it has held up well. Regular duracoat is not intended for use on barrels, I guess, though they have another type listed that is heat resistant.
I recently bought some Norrells Moly Resin to try out, I guess it's similar to the heat tolerant Duracoat. |

What ever you do, do not soak anything that isn't metal in laquer thinner. It will melt. DuraCoat makes a great de-greaser that is ok for plastics. |

haha, yeah no plastics in the thinner.
Also, i have used my 870 alot and with alot of rapid fire where i couldnt touch the barrel without being burnt and i havent noticed anything bad with the barrel. So i dont know why you would use a higher temp duracoat. |
