****WARNING**** NEWBIE QUESTION Has anybody had any experience with Dura-Coat finishes? I'm interested in painting a rifle, and I want to know about pros' / cons' Thanks in advance! |
|
I've had two experiences with duracoat, but only on two seperate pistols. One was a XD40, and the duracoat finish on it was tough, and easy to clean. It was a titanium with a matte finish. The other was a XD9 and the finish on it was peeling, easy to scratch, and not very good. This was a titanium with a glossy finish. Both were done by the same company, and both were cured for equal amounts of time. I guess the duracoat finish for me was inconsistant, and I'm not sure that I would do it again. Maybe others can give you a more positive feedback on the product. Hope this helps. |

I duracoated my Para Ord. Warthog combat green and combat black. I carry it just vabout every day. Its been about 6 months and still looks really good.Dura coat also makes moving parts slicker too.ou just have to do really good prep. work. I sand blasted all my parts with 120 grit almn. oxide and degreased everthing really good.Make sure you use a good airbrush and use light coats. http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/lsbbigdog/th_MediaCardBlackBerrypicturesIMG00186.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll287/lsbbigdog/DSC03495_edited.jpg?t=1221081957 |

I painted my son's AR with grey wolf duracoat about a year ago and it's held up very well. http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4822/argreyea6.jpg |
