Anyone used Duracoat Aerosol Can

[epp838]

Ive been looking into painting my rifle and see duracoat offers it in an aerosol can. Anyone used it yet I can't seem to find any reviews about it. Let me know and post pics if you got em.

I used the mix with the preval sprayer and didn't like it. The coating went on too thick and it was difficult to control. I'd rather use an air brush.

I used the kit as well. I followed the directions and shook the shit out of the first can and it was runny as hell. Had to sand it down and use a second can - which worked better. I don't see myself using it again on another firearm.

Yeah I may look into getting the airbrush kit

I know it's not duracoat but I had good results with briwnells allumihide

 

[epp838]

Yeah that was another option I was looking into

How fast does the alumahide wear. I know it's not as durable as duracoat but what should I expect as far as wearing off.

IMO, the Duracoat sprayer kit is both easier to get good results from, and a better overall finish, versus AH-II. YMMV

I've only used it once but I loved it. The only places it's wearing off is on plastic parts. It did spray a little thick but I just sped up my motion so it wouldn't run.

Before and after with the preval sprayer. That hundred year old Mauser was hand fitted and the parts with Duracoat hardly fit back together! Went on a little thick.

I used the aerosol can once. Works really well and easy to build up coats. Just make sure you got everything you want to oaint ready because once you start mixing in the can you have to use it or lose it. Very handy product. I had the kit with the preval sprayer on the shelf for years and everything went to hell from sitting so long so I got the rattle can. And I'd do if again.

Good to know, I think I will give it a try

Alumnahyde, alumnahyde2 (air cure) and the other brownells spray are great stuff.

Norrells moly resin is the best but you need an air brush.
