Brownells Spray-on Finish Video Guide- Chpt 4 Gun-Kote

[patrujo]

Maybe try using this to refinish old cameras?

When they say 325 they mean it. My oven was set at 300 and when I went to check it 20 minutes later it was at 498 and the coating had pealed off.

Also I bought this product and did nit use it for a year, it was kept indoors in air conditioning but the cans froze up or dried up not sure which, buy it use it fast. It does work good though I have done several and they all looked good.

Also do not store in garage in Florida:) I had one burst after two years.

Can you heat plastic parts in the over or will they melt

[darkwriter77]

Thinking I might go with this stuff for my Kel-Tec P11. It's been very rust-prone because of the crappy factory finish, and my attempts at using high-temp automotive paint so far have been only somewhat satisfactory. (Protects well, but tends to flake off easily.) Only thing is, I don't have access to a media blaster. As someone else asked, would de-bluing, hand-sanding, and degreasing/cleaning be sufficient to prep the surface?

[bachterman]

what about a starter pistol that's been made out of whte metal? it's got a low heat capacity. can you bake those too after coating?

[556suppressor]

Can you bake it in the kitchen oven or does the GunKote make it unsafe to bake food ?

[FATjibber]

@556suppressor not recommended...the vapors that come out of your oven could be harmful.

ok so this is not to BLUE THE METAL this will live the metal the nice black color correct??? and thanks for the info

[TackDr1ver]

I would buy this if they made a white... I coyote hunt in the winter and want a white AR-15 upper, lower and hand guard...

[jered1321]

@grengerx yes

[chiseenchinaman]

does gun kote work on anodized aluminum frames? i'd sand blast it if i could, but removing the anodized finish will weaken the aluminum frame.... what to do?

[83VF750F]

Thank you for all of your videos. I would like to see more of the finished guns. Do have a video on all of your paints?

[oldskoolfloridaboy]

how does this compare to duracoat?

[Sonytube12345]

Dura-bake is cheaper.

[jered1321]

can i do this to a ak74 help

[Norcalflat]

I dont have access or room for a blast cabinet, would hand sanding parts(namely knife blades and hatchets) work to prep for spraying? Also how important is the temp, if I bought an old toaster oven that doesnt hold at a set temp very well will it affect the finish? Thanks for the vids, they are well done and very helpful!

[Norcalflat]

Nice vid, I will be buying some to finish some of my knives and hatchets.

[louisyoung75]

can we use an oven toaster?

[fielding92]

Just curious, will these products work with stainless steel? I have a stainless ruger gp-100 that needs to be re-finish black.

[brownellsinc]

So long as the original stainless has been abrasive blasted, the finish will adhere properly. Proper substrate preparation is required on all metal types as well as a completely clean surface.

[TackDr1ver]

i have an ar-15 and i want to paint it white, i want something like gun kote or duracote but i like the idea of the aerosol can, is there a white paint in the aerosol can?

[ktkeith]

The voiceover says that Gun-Kote has no lubricity - but the written text (box at top right) says it is a "lubricating gun finish". Which is it?

You're using it on a 1911 slide which has extensive contact with the slide rails during recoil - I would think a lubricating product would be preferred here. Is Gun-Kote recommended for such applications? Where would it not be appropriate, and what would be a better product for those cases?

[brownellsinc]

There are a number of spray on coatings that provide various degrees of lubricity. Gun Kote does have amounts of either Molybdenum, PTFE, and in some instances Boron in the pigment depending on the color.

Gun Kote & Teflon/Moly both provide lubricity while at the same time providing a thin protective coating that can be applied between closely fitted surfaces. The relative amount of lubricity depends on the color and collectively all provide some degree of lubricating ability over bare metal.

[ranierlags]

320 to 325 degree, is it in centigrade or farenheight?

[KRN762]

Awesome! I wish I had a dime for every dime I've spent at Brownells! Haha..
