Duracoat Projects

[couchpotato88]

I do a bit of duracoating in my spare time. I havent contributed much to the forum since I spend most of my time reading.. Thought it may be time to throw something out there though. Some of these are my personal toys,the rest are projects I have done for for others.

I apologize for the poor pictures. Please ask any questions!

BAD DOG!

Nice work! I'm digging that burnt bronze in the first pic.

Thanks!

That one is my baby it's "copper" Duracoat, you can't see it in the pic but in sunlight you can see the metallics in the Duracoat.

I kind of like the second AR. What colors did you use? Pretty damn nice work!

What buttstock is that one the copper?

Great work.

Nice work! The Copper up top definitely caught my eye too. Man, I'm thinking I'm going to duracoat an AR-15 Copper now. I'm digging it. Thanks for sharing.

Great job ... can I ask what kind of sprayer and air compressor you are using?

Thanks guys!

That was extreme tactical grey stripes over the factory park job which was all brand new.

Great work.

The stock is the ergo f93 pro stock. 8 position with a lock. It's rock solid

Might as well! Haha. It's a pretty cool color. If you do it, you HAVE to lay it down thick in order to get the proper sheen.

Great job ... can I ask what kind of sprayer and air compressor you are using?

Absolutely. I am using a little 3 gallon standard compressor and an hvlp automotive touch up sprayer. I just switched from a standard badger airbrush. This works MUCH better since you can adjust the pattern width and volume.

Nice work!

Love the deer in the headlights grab on the pup. Good thing that ak forend has a metal reinforcement or he might have eaten the whole thing ;-)

 

[couchpotato88]

Haha, ya he is a little terror.. It was partly my fault for leaving it somewhat accessible knowing he likes to chew on wood... He won't be able to eat the rail system he forced me to replace it with though!

How long do you like to have the Duracoat cure before using hard?

How long do you like to have the Duracoat cure before using hard?

If it is on polymer, a week- 10 days before hard use. Anything else, 20 days. If I can fit it in the oven I will bake it on though. In that case I still like to give it 5 days before hard use.

When you coat the lower on the ar do you have too take trigger and springs out or can you leave them in it ?

The copper AR I stripped everything apart. On the tiger stripe AR I left everything together as one. Works either way. Pin holes don't typically get filled in enough to cause any pins to go in hard.
