Jumping on the duracoat bandwagon.

[Long Range Trigger Monkey]

I have no experience with Gunkote but I thought it was an oven cure product. I don't have a full size oven that I can use to bake a barreled action so I stick with the air cure stuff and as long as the metal prep is done well the performance is quite good. I've tried the Brownells Aluma-Hyde and I still prefer the DuraCoat to that because of the long cure time with the Aluma-Hyde.

OP, if it turns out the way you like, please post some pics!

I'm certainly hoping it will. The only delay right now is finding a warmish place to start spraying the parts. The wife would kill me if I spray in the basement (again).

I did two jobs in the basement and she said no more lol. The last time I even constructed somewhat of a paint booth out of plastic drop cloth that sealed off a part of the basement and connected to a window for venting and fumes still got upstairs. Luckily my folks live close by and I can use their garage for painting activities, it warms up pretty good out there, there's a TV, a frig, it's a pretty sweet set up actually.

Looks like I'll be planning to paint Tuesday. Temps will be up in the 50s out side and I'll be setting up a heated paint booth (groundblind) in my open air barn. Results will follow....

KG1200 is air cure for stocks and scopes. In my experience of a few polymer pieces it didn't wear very well and having to use a heat gun to sweat mold release out of plastic parts prior to abrasive blasting was an added hassle.

Anyone have any experience with the Brownells branded oven cure gunkote?

I've got a can sitting on the bench I intended to use to refinish a zastava cz99 beater I picked up for <$150. Almost a year on haven't found the time...

Well it's been a interesting start down the duracoat trail. After doing some initial testing with my airbrush I decided against doing my AR yet. The airbrush puts out so little paint it would take hours and hours to do the whole Ar with multiple layer. I will have to invest in a painters gun to finish that task. But after seeing some pictures online I decided to two tone my Glock 19 with multi beige and multi tan. I really like the way it came out and the finish appears to be holding pretty well. Only have noticed one blemish so far and that was due to a piece of lint or dust that was on the slide when I sprayed.

I've used a horror freight detail gun to spray several non gun projects. They work surprisingly well for the $10 price tag.
