Hi, looking to paint my new ak (ssr-85) with moly resin. Not only new to ak's but never really painted a project like this either. The molyresin calls for curing at 300F, that isn't gonna damage the spring in my mag release is it?
And my rifle has a dull black finish, I don't even know park when I see it (I'm that new). Couple pics of it:

I've read molyresin adheres pretty well to parkerizing, so if that's park maybe I can just prep it real good and paint over? Would it be advisable to go the extra mile and grit blast it? I like the gun a lot and am happy to put some extra money into it. And I really wanna go for the original ak look, were the original russian rifles semi-gloss or flat?
