    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer Thanks! I originally painted this with Krylon, which was a big mistake. After I was done, and waited the required "curing" time, the bolt would not go in and after it did it was hard to close the bolt because the coating was so thick. I thought I was going to get the same...

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer Here are some not-so-good photos of my painted barreled action. The sun was already setting so the colors may not be true. Overall I liked the result. I misted some black at a distance on the flat dark earth parts and I liked the effect a lot, I could've lowered the psi...

    Is everyone happy with their B&C Medalist A2

    Re: Is everyone happy with their B&C Medalist A2 No worries on your rifle, if William is putting it together it will be a shooter. I also bought a B&C Medalist Tactical in Tan/Black web on Friday, should get it sometime next week. A Howa 1500 .308 will go in it. I would've liked to have a...

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer I basically set up my Iwata to where the needle is almost backed all the way out even at the usual "fine detail" setting to allow for the wide spray, this way the stream is not limited. Was trying to get a few pics just now but it is not working out. I'll have to take it...

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer All done. No reducer was needed. I used 4 tablespoons of duracoat and 1 teaspoon of hardener, and 25 psi. Sprayed just fine and the airbrush didn't gum up like last time. Will take some pictures as soon as duracoat had a chance to set. I had some rifle parts and a 1911...

    Gunsmithing My First Duracoat job - Bell & Carlson LA Tac/Med

    Re: My First Duracoat job - Bell & Carlson LA Tac/Med Did you blast the stock at all prior to painting? Or did you just degrease and apply duracoat? Thanks. I've got a B&C Tactical Medalist coming next week that I'm planning to apply duracoat to as well.

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer hi guys, thanks much for the food for thought... Here are some more info for better assessment of the problems, and I believe I know why it happened... 1. I use an Iwata Revolution SAR airbrush with 0.5mm needle, max spray spread pattern is 1.5". 2. Last time I shot...

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Re: duracoat reducer thanks guys, I guess I can just guesstimate the 20% reducer. last time I sprayed without reducer the finish was grainy and the needle was clogged and required cleaning once every few minutes, and the spray pattern was intermittent. I'll also try to up the PSI a bit more...

    Gunsmithing duracoat reducer

    Hello all, I'm ready to shoot some duracoat tomorrow on a barreled action, and also a pistol slide. Last time I used this same Iwata airbrush I got through the job but knew I should've added some reducer to make the flow smoother. Anyway, I have bought some reducer this time but can't find...
