I was going to say ceramic paint. I bought some 2000F crap at walmart once that had to be cured for 4 hours at 450F and it was HARD like ceramic tile, but the curing turned it slightly brownish in hue rather than black. I'd still use it it stunk horribly when in the oven, but it was tough and dark colored. |

I have friends who paint them with header paint too and it has held up pretty well.

If you duracoat, can you still read the engraved info on the can?

The black "header paint" is holding up Ok. It's gotten hot enough to where I could not touch the can with a leather work glove on for more then a second, and it still looks about as pictured.
Considering the stock finish did what it did in the Vickers class (pictured above), this is cheap reformulation for me to get it black again. |

My concern would be that the ATFE might consider this "hiding" the serial number. I guess you could just mask that off, though.

The smudge is done in photoshop on the serial number... Otherwise you can read M4-2000, and everything else perfectly clearly. ATF would end up paying for thier case in court, as well as the defendant. 100% chance it would fail. |

excellent reply's...
i don't think there would be any problem..serial number looks clear and defined. what kind of holster is that for your side arm ? looks good , doesn't ride to low. nice rig also. doesn't duracoat and others need to be cured ? and sprayed with a spray gun ? |

nice rig also. Safariland 6004-5340-121, however I am not sure that is the exact model I have on since mine has the 6004-10 leg shroud for the factory single leg buckle as you see. I had to call Safariland directly to figure out the model number I wanted. |
