Im going to (attempt) to duracoat my first weapon a glock 23 slide with the lauer weaponry shake and spray kit. Is there any special prepping i should consider before spraying the parts? Also has anyone had any experience with this kit?

^^^^^^^ what he said. Then degrease it again! Wear rubber gloves or latex or something when you do this, so the oil from your skin doesn't get on it again and again. It's not difficult. I've even used a scotch bright pad instead of blasting, but blasting it is the very best. I think duracoat recommends 120 AO for media.

I've gone the duracoat route before. I just recently had to blast it off and reapply Norrell's Molly. I made a oven from a stove pipe and some insulation. It was easier to apply than the duracoat and isn't even coming off the muzzlebrake after shooting 50+ rounds. Buy once cry once, Duracoat sucks IMO.

Only if you have an understanding wife like me..
