Best non bake finish

[Alabama556]

I have to touch up some bare metal on the bottom of an action from some matching work. I don’t want to cerakote the entire barreled upper again. All the areas will be inside the stock.

The area will be under the magazine box and the top part of the action above the magazine box.

Can anyone recommend a good non bake finish?

Thanks

If you have an airbrush you could use the C-series Cerakote. With the c-series there is no mixing or baking required. For spray can Brownells has a coating called alumahyde. I've heard good reviews on it.

Thanks. I was under the impression you had to cure allumahyde in an oven.

I’ve had good results with durakote using a cheap harbor freight hvlp sprayer. 6 years later no chipping or signs of wear. Prep is key with any of it and you’ll have good results.

Brownell's alumahyde ll. I've used it with good results. It is durable and comes in aerosol. I did thoroughly prepare the metal first.

Will alumshyde work on steel?

For sure...and while it does not require heat to cure, you can speed up the long curing process by cooking it.
