    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Sadly, it's not a shotgun. It's in .223. I wish it was a Saiga 12 though. Suggestions: Practice on a few, smaller items you really don't care about. I had just had some extra AR mags laying around and gave it a whirl on a few of those. And then I stepped it up to the Saiga which I honestly...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Is the clear duracoat worth it? I'm honestly not that worried about it. I wasn't expecting it to look this good lol. I think it had something to do with me not pressing the tape down enough. It's really only noticeable on the tan outline which is also where I had a few parts bleed through on...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Operation: Duracoat Saiga is complete. From a looks standpoint, I thought it turned out pretty nice. There are a few blemishes where I didn't quite have the tape pressed down and there was a little bit of a bleed under it but it was very minor. The only thing I don't really like about it, is...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Not sure which tip I'm using but I've found a pretty good setup for now. Didnt take too long to figure things out. The posts here have definitely helped. I started on some mags and tonight I'll be seeing how my camo job was on my Saiga. Only did the stock/forend but I think it will turn out...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Just finished spraying two AR mags. I scrubbed the first one with the scotch brite pad which didn't seem to work very well. Is this better for plastics? I used sandpaper on the second one. I just need to pick up a mask and some lacquer thinner for clean up. The reducer worked but there just...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Thanks for the advice and tips! I've been a little busy the past month but just began buying stuff. I ordered a Paasche kit that came with a small compressor(I actually think it's sitting on my doorstep right now) as well as the duracoat. I plan on picking up all of the smaller stuff like...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Here are the two airbrushes recommended above. Badger and Paasche single action It seems like the Badger kits comes with a bit more accessories so I'm leaning towards it. I read some reviews and it seems like both will be good airbrushes to start out with. Next I just need to find a...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    I missed that link the first time. That Paasche looks like it will be right in my price range. So far on my list of stuff to buy: Gloves, degreaser/acetone, sandpaper/scotch brite, lacquer thinner, respirator, painters tape, airbrush, hose, extra bottles, air compressor, regulator, water...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    Thanks for the information. It's good to see that the durability will hold up well. I've asked before on another forum and everyone seemed to be talking down on duracoat because cerakote was better. Do any of you have a specific airbrush you could point me to? I plan on trying to do some very...

    Duracoat/Cerakote questions

    I've never painted any of my rifles or accessories but am going to be starting soon. At first, I want to just start off with duracoat since it seems a little bit cheaper than cerakote. Questions: What is a good quality airbrush that I should look into? I understand that cheap and good...

    anybody a dallas cowboys fan?

    Hardcore Dallas fan here. Don't believe in Jerry or Garrett but do believe in the players. There aren't many QBs I would rather have than him. Sure he's had his faults but he's also been damn good in other moments but no one wants to remember those.
