  • I've seen Air Brush Kits at the hardware store, running around $15. You reckon those along with some DuraCoat products and an air compressor would get the job done?

  • How has this held up on the rubber parts? I am looking to do this on my items and according to the folks at Duracoat its not to be used on Rubber. Looked like it was sucessful for you. I did Krylon Camo w/ Fusion & a MAPP torch to flash off the volatiles as I coated and it went on great. It isnt however as durable as the Duracoat and the folks at the company steer me away from using it on rubber. Even with their Duraflex additive, a nono. Any responses with Duracoat on rubber is appreciated.

  • anyone wanna duracoat their dick?....and testicles for that matter.

  • thanks a ton for the vid fancy!!!

  • @BassmanSW, Please read my comment again, he has no phone service at all he WILL NOT even talk to you over the phone no matter what the problem is. My problem was with the payment part of the transaction not the product or how to use it so comming to youtube wouldnt have helped that.

  • I have to agree with WrenchinAllDay. Go to lauer weaponry. or if you just need paint go to amazon.

  • Duracoat is a good product, just dont buy it from Duracoat Firearm Finishes Direct the guy who runs this web site Anthoney G Houts has zero coustemer service skills and is rude as hell in his emails witch is the only way he will deal with you he does not have a coustmer service number.All i wanted to do is give him my business and he acted as if he didnt care, avoid him at all costs.

  • @WrenchinAllDay At least he answered the phone and spoke English! LOL. I never call customer service if I can avoid it. I tend to come here to YT and I can usually find what I need. Cheers!

  • How well would duracoat stick to a wood stock

  • @QuadRider004 look at his mosin nagant video

  • maybe i missed it...does it "cover" serial numbers and markings or is it thin enough to still see all markings?

  • could you tell me what air brush system you use?

  • That "reducer" is probably nothing more than paint thinner or laquer thinner.

  • Lauer Weaponry..REPPIN WISCONSIN!!!!

  • your finish would come out lot nicer,.if u use less air pressure

  • We, the troops, use Krylon because it is not permanent. it allows us to change with the environment. Duracoat is nice, but prefer adaptability.

  • Great Video Sir!

  • @slinkydog2222 the website is in the description on his video "the duracoat project". my bad.

  • @slinkydog2222. Yes you can get OD green. Just go to the website nutnfancy put in the description. They have every color you could think of.

  • Nutn, told me everything i wanted to know, your the man. = P

  • Duracoating the newest drug craze.

  • Can you get Duracoat in OD green?

  • @slinkydog2222 in a few shades of OD green i believe.

  • I have my 700P .300WM duracoted so I can camouflage it for hunting.

  • I like the DuraCoat just because it rocks.

  • good stuff ,i like it! a tip for ya when you paint try to stay away from short bursts i know like on the the scope you have to, but when you can, create a spray pattern with long overlapping coats. then go over as you need to, that way it'll look good in the sun too. good job!

  • how hard are the tiger stripe kits i have two AR's i wanna coat but if its a realy big leangthy task then i am going to krylon it

  • What is used to clean your spray equipment ? Xylene ? Lacquer thinner ?

  • great video very impressive

  • @nutnfancy Those airbrush propellent cans need to be sunk in a bucket of water to work well. You take a bucket of hot tap water and trap the can under a few bricks. The water absorbs and dissipates the temperature drop associated with the release of the gas.

  • Comment removed

  • i might duracoat my putter, but i don't have an airbrush. can i do it with a normal brush instead?

  • @GuitarCrazy12100 actually duracoat now has a shake and spray kit where you dont need a airbrush. but any duracoat does need to be spray applied. no brushing on unfortunately.

  • @GuitarCrazy12100

    Nope, cant be brushed on. It needs to be sprayed on. They sell basic aerosol kits for less than $40 I think.

  • My advice: dont go so heavy on your first coat. Watching you hit that monopod it looks pretty heavy. You will get runs and your dry time will vary greatly. Dont be afraid to use 2 coats. Your fist is a base coat to coat the low spots then use your 2nd to fill in the rest. good luck

  • Ouch. you painted the inside where the bolt goes.... thats not right. duracoat is nice but a little over rated.

  • I want to DuraCoat my truck!

  • cerakote > duracoat

  • @rap33st

    How and why? I've heard Cerakote is better, but Duracoat has more color options. Please let me know where I can find a professional comparison of the two. Much appreciated.

  • so far... this is my favorite nutnfancy video. is this your basement or your batcave?

  • Could you use break clearer to clean parts or is that too extreme It would damage them?

  • @NovaScotiaNewfie Go with Aircraft grade paint remover. It's easier to work with because it's a bit more goopy in consistency. You do need to sand the surface to make any paint or finish take to the part easier.

  • I don't want to duracoat the bolt. I want to duracoat the Aluminum receiver and external barrel and mag tube. I don't want to nickel those parts because 1)- I want them to stay black, and 2)-to apply the NP3 coating, it'd be necessary to first strip the hard anodizing, which would weaken the receiver. Duracoat can be applied directly to a hard anodized surface. Thank you for answering wrt duracoating the inside of the receiver.

  • and i wouldnt duracoat any internals of any weapon, especially on a semi-auto like an AR

  • Comment removed

  • Supposedly duracoat can be applied directly over the anodized aluminum, and sticks really well. Perhaps I'll send the bolt and other small internals off to Robar for NP3 coating, but Duracoat the barrel and receiver. Any idea how well a NP3 coated bolt would function in a receiver coated inside and out with duracoat?

  • @guntotingliberal why would you want to duracoat a nickel-based bolt ???

  • Do you apply Duracoat to the chamber or inside the receivers of your guns?

    I have an SLP mk 1 that was thinking of getting NP3 coated by Robar. But, it's expensive, and if I understand correctly Robar will have to bead blast the aluminum receiver and remove the hard anodize in order to plate it. I worry about the bead blasting changing tolerances, and I don't want to lose that nice hard anodize coating.

  • Do you need to use and alcohol prepper to wipe away oils or can you just get after it? If so what did you use exactly?

  • Can you use dura-coat on any material or what?

  • Sweet a Nutnfancy video under 10:00 I definitely have time for this one! I love the videos but so long I usually don't have time. And as usual anything I'm interested in I search it and NutnFancy has a video for it ;)

  • you should make more of these type of vid

  • on the laure website, what was the name of the color you duracoated your glock 17 because i want that color for my glock 17

  • i heard you say something about rubber when you were spraying that mono pod. im assuming the bottom part was hard rubber. how did it hold up. the reason i ask is because i have a hoge stock id like to paint, but no one can give me a straight answer as to whether i can paint it or not. thanks

  • hey nut i am planning to duracoat my spyderco endura 4. but the problem is that there is no available duracoats here in our country. nut where can i purchase duracoat online?? love your vids man more power

  • Nutnfancy will eventually try to duracoat his skin, XD

  • @starknife his got to duracoat his hat- then wear a hat to preserve the duracoat

  • @starknife

    some say he has a duradick.

  • @starknife ya that is a good idea, it would save a lot of money that would normally be wasted on gloves.

  • @starknife Penis included.

  • Go to Home Depot or Lowes and you can purchase "Appliance Epoxy" spray paint. About $5.00 a can. Used it to paint a fiberglass boat. Be aware. Duracote above is the real deal with seperate hardener. It is MUCH better. And, yes, it will coat your nasal passages and lungs. It will reduce oxygenation in your lungs. Trust me.

  • @mpellegran Appliance epoxy is a good one-part spray paint, but hardly any colors especially dull. Many new two part epoxy paints(probably duracoat) have near powder coat durability and don't need baking. I suggest getting a better air brush than what they got because I've used one and it sucks with paints(spits alot), or get a touch-up spray gun for $15 to $20 at walmart or wherever. They give a pretty even coat, hold more paint, and they last a lifetime. Good luck.

  • I would highly reccomend that you at least remove the trigger assembly before painting the action, it takes all of a couple minutes. Another thing you might think about is disassembling the bolt before painting,again it takes 2-3 minutes. In return you will get a more professinal looking job.

  • Duracoat is made by Lauer Custom Weaponry in Hallie, WI (2 miles from my house) Lauers shop kicks ass. . . highly suggest anyone in the area to make the drive in!!

  • can you get dura coat as spray paint in a can?

  • Great Vid Nut sure helped me make my decision on me getting this kit for myself and doing my rifle in woodland camo can't really say i like the desert colors had a bad experience in the desert few years back kinda like the green colors of my home state better you know there's life when your seeing green lol but nice job on your rifle though now all i got to do is get online and get my colors so i can have fun

  • Hey nutnfancy, can touch-ups on an epoxy or parkerized finish be done with a good felt tip archival marker, without inducing corrosion?

  • If you're happy and you know it clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands, if you're happy and you know it then your ass will surely show it if you're happy and you know it clap your hands. Great information. Thanks for another well done video.

  • Waths the price?

  • where can you buy duracoat at?

  • In the interest of saviing paint, is there a huge benefit in coating a synthetic stock with duracoat as opposed to spray paint or acrylic paint for use with an airbrush? Its my understanding Duracoat paints are more or less a heavy duty rust preventer ( a really cool rust preventer).

  • Im about to duracoat a Savage/Stevens 200 in 22-250 and was wondering about spraying the bolt lugs. I got the self lubricating duracoat but will painting the bolt lugs as well as inside the rails cause clearance issues?

    Awesome vid as always, keep up the good work NUTN! (you too Veri! :P)

    Ω†

  • Is there anything to be said about coating moving parts? I'm worried it will dry up and then seize up the part or chip the paint off.

  • what do i need to buy from duracoat to do just my yugo m70(ak47), i got acetone and i already have an airbrush n'all the other stuff, Would i just need the Color and the hardener

  • dont touch the metal after you parts clean it. Your hands have oils on them. Use frog tape to get clean edges.

  • If you put the can of propellant in a pan of warm to hot water the pressure will increase to spray a heavier paint/coating. it won't last as long but it keeps the pressure consistent and higher...never let it tip over or lean sideways though...

  • can a person get in leagle trouble doing this? does the dura coat cover up the serial number??

  • @shawnwade351 NO it does not cover up the serial number. If you are that worried about it just tape off the numbers.

  • If I want to durabake my Ar-15 upper and lower is there any prep work besides removing the oil? and will this stuff chip at all? because I haul my gun through hell and back coyote hunting.

  • @TackDr1ver Follow the directions precicely.

  • Does the application of DuraCoat Interfere with the action of a firearm? Ive noticed its in the breech and along other key points on the rifle. Does it cause any interference in the action?

  • @fiftyhunnug Only place nutn has had a problem with it was when he duracoated the inside of the tarus PT1911 slide, had to remove it.

  • What's this you're saying people duracoating their weapons when they go to the sand box? Are you guys over there in the US allowed to paint your service rifles or something?

  • @BrandonEclipse Yea, they do it all the time, black is one of the most easily seen colors, especially when its against a tan background (their own camo), so anything is done to take away that obvious dark spot.

  • What's the point of the DuraCoat?

  • @TheJORPR777 Do you really need to ask that? That's like asking what's the point of having your car painted in your favourite colour. You like the way it looks, simple as that.

  • Quick tip, charcoal (not the stuff that's pretreated with lighter fluid but the plain stuff) helps pull the fumes out of the air. Or big tubs of baking soda.

  • Can you do this to handguns?

  • @dooginator2008tx Anything thats not rubber really.

  • Get something darker man!!! Those light coats make your guns look like toys

  • is this something that can be done by anyone or is it advised to pay a gunsmith to do it? (is there anything you can screw up badly)

  • @szelle63 If you follow the directions, its great, but if you dont follow the directions, you might as well use nothing.

  • im thinking of buying a knife what would u reccomend ? thanks,

    josh

  • im thinkking of buying a knife what would u reccomend ? thanks,

    josh

  • Thanks alot!!!! Iwas realy looking for a video like yours!!!

    Any suggestions on how to paint a revolver without getting any of the mechanisms DuraCoated?

  • Which is better, DuraCoat or GunKote? Does duracoat smell bad because its not heated?

    With GunKote can you use a blowlamp instead of the oven?

  • Im using my sigma as a project gun and am planning to use krylon flat black spray paint on my sigma sw9ve slide... does any one have any advice or input on that? It would be much appreciated thanx. Decorating looks great... But Im trying to keep the costs down

  • I LOVE Nutn's vids!

    I wanted to do the ACU Camo on one of my shotguns. Do they supply a stencil for you to use for the camo? I hope so, because ACU would be nearly impossible to freehand.

    Thanks!

  • man, your putting way to much paint on at the start, the paint will crack if you put that much on.

  • Do I only get this online? Or can I find that at Lowes or Walmart?

  • the ounces are insane!

  • Odd that I stumble on this video after I scratch the F**K out of my V10 on concrete. but a question: Is Duracoat a protectant? Or is it just like, a preference for custom coloration for your weapon?

  • Comment removed

  • I’ve painted a fair share in my time and I’ll tell you what I have preached to others. Regardless what your painting it’ll only come out as good as your attention to preparation was, cut corners or get the mindset of “Its good enough” and your final product will show it. I’m not a perfectionist but my point is take your time and do it right... Ray

  • How much is the airbrush + paint container? Thanks.

  • i was wondering about coat thickness. does coating your firearm greatly affect tolerances? i see that coat thickness id .25 - 1.5 mils so that being said, what are some of the tighter tolerances in an AR-15, Glock, etc?

  • will this hold up on a glock polymer frame ? holstering and unholstering from a kydex holster over time?

  • @bZberetta

    not sure.

    i have (among others) a kimber custom tle that i duracoated tan for deployments.

    it is an all steel slide and frame with custom grips, magwell etc and i use a serpa (kydex-i think) on my vest and drop leg holster.

    it has been in and out of the holster daily for 3 twelve month deployments and the holster hasn't made a single mark on it.

    it has got some small marks from being dropped, thrown, fired etc though.

  • can you remove it?

  • @softypowder

    i don't know if there's a good recommended solvent for removing it but it is tougher than any paint i've ever seen.

    best bet would be to sand blast it (glass/walnut-whatever).

  • If you do this often, wear nitrile gloves and better ventilator mask.

  • do yuo know some one that can paint my whole r700 with scope,, bipod...desert digital??????

  • i cant get dura coat in australia yet they wont mail it here lol i may ask my mate in the US army to get me some

  • Does anyone know if you DuraCoat a SERPA the color will stay?

  • Do you think that it would be ok to spray paint a stock a forend on a shotgun?

  • Nutn,

    After a year and six months how has the duracoat held up? Can you do a follow up vid or just comment on how you like it and its durability.

  • Any recommendations on duracoating a nightforce scope?

  • Try blue loc-tite fancy on that piece that pops off. It's still service removable and it wont budge ever again during use. I use it on some bolts and screws on my airsoft weapons. they are gas blowback rifles and on full auto they tend to vibrate loose. the blue loc-tite is awesome and cheap at $4.95 and a little drop goes a long way.

  • MORE DURA COAT VIDEOS!!!!

    AND REVIEW A 700 PLEASE!

  • i have a very important quesion, i have an ar 15, i use MILITEC-1 gun oil and i have ben noticing that it iliterally eats theough alot of different kinds of finishes.. can somebody that uses MILITEC-1 and has a duraCoat camo tell me how it reacts with the gun oil, please message me or make a reply thanks...

  • i want to duracoat my desert eagle .44. how durable is this shit and how long does it last??

  • @RAIZEDBYWOLVEZ  it is compeletly unecessary to use the vulgar terms dude, and it lasts a bloody long time

  • @Kylef7735 Completely unnecessary vulgarity? What the fuck are you talking about, hahahaha.

  • Will you do a return review on how long this stuff lasted before it started to wear? How well it stould up to use and abuse?

  • how did the duracoat stick to the accupod rubber base?

  • Did you get paint on the bearing surface of the bolt or in the chamber? or does it matter?

  • lol spaycan propellant sucks for all purposes.

    u can kinda help it along by keeping the bottle in a bucket of warm water so as to

    keep the temperature change from messing with the spray too much, but its still gonna suck.

    lil tip: u might try using a car tire as a source of propellant if u can find the parts needed to attach the airbrush.

  • This is a great vid. As a professional model maker as well as a gun enthusiast, I have to say that the cheap Harbor Freight airbrush is perfect for this application. I wouldn't run that stuff through my $200 Badger airbrush if you gave me 500 bucks LOL. It would probably be okay but you'd be asking for trouble.

    Also those airbrush propellant cans are pretty hit and miss. A compressor is best in the long run.

  • Is this kit expensive? Is there a cheaper option?

  • dang man cool thanks for helping im gana paint my glock

  • I was going to buy a compressor just like the one you use but the Sears employee said it would be too powerful for a small airbrush and when I was viewing Duracoats page it said 10-12 pounds output pressure is what you need and it looked like the compressors sears had all started out around 20 pounds

    But it did seem to work you pretty well

  • @UltraXryder

    Just get a different pressure regulator. Nutn is probably having problems with that hose because of over pressurization. A water/oil separator or filter is a good thing to run for spraying. If you don't have/need a full sized compressor you can get a air brush specific compressor for around $100. Check out TCP Global, Harbor Freight, hobby shops, etc.

  • Thanks for the input I was at a local hobby store yesterday and the cheapest "hobby compressor" they had was $330!! so I went ahead and bought a Craftsman compressor that looks just like the one in this vid and it had a regulator build in and I bought a water/oil sep too

    Thanks again

  • Right on about the spray paint. We hang our junk from coat hangers and spray paint it, then take it out. The edges and raised parts show wear first, but we don't really care, we'll hit it again, it gets the job done.

    Good vid, looks fun if you have the time to do it right haha.

  • well I'm going to duracoat my shotgun and it's reasonably priced whole kit will cost me like 100 bucks

  • Thanks for this. I am getting ready to re-finish a cheap .22 pistol and I appreciate the tips!

  • i want to dura coat my wetherby .300 mag

  • sweet vid. i really like that 300 by the way too!

  • remember in the movie shooter when wahlberg sprayed his weapons, using leaves as templates, cool.

  • if you use an air compressor use a moisture trap so no moisture gets into the duracoat

  • hmm i have considered this for my Carbon 15, but i think just some spray paint will do just fine, since it rarely gets used..

    But if i get that savage .308 i been looking at...hmmm

  • Thanks for doing the duracoat vids! I am planning on duracoating my knives (the 1095 ones) and my tactical carbine. Very detailed, and informative! Keep it up!

  • Another Great Vid A++++

  • a compressor with at least 35 psi , metal is advised to be glass blasted. i found a wmv file online with the full instructional video in about 10 parts. basically it says desgress blow off, paint with airbruss or LVHP spraygun let dry 20 min per layer in oven or hour without . there is also a clear matt for blue metal

  • do you need a special attachment for air compressor or does it attach onto it ?

  • it will hook right up .

  • Duh use gloves for this sort of work. Holy sheyote I would use gloves.

  • What do you clean your airbrush with ?

  • Im kind of a beginner. My GSG 5 paint sucks! Would it be hard to Dura Coat it?

  • this could be worth a note here ; in the auto paint world it is an absolute must to wear skin protection and breathing apparatus w/ epoxy paint . if you breathe enough it will harden on the surface of your lungs and you will suffocate to death . some elements are also cummulative and are absorbed through the skin , a worthy warning to the viewers .

  • can i duracoat my glock please give me a response its really beat up . and if i were to paint it what paint can i use.

  • Great video nutnfancy, I've always liked your reviews a lot. How has this finish held up after almost a year?

  • these vids have been great as always wanted to know how,i got a comment back from somebody saying that as i have never shot a gun why do i leace comments as i have nothing to input of any use? anyways,peace love from UK

  • You comment all you want, manx. We have a large percentage of viewers who have never picked up a gun, or even been close to one. People that Nutn wants to reach. Glad to have you around. You must be doing something right as you're already getting critics. ;) -- Veri

  • @manxdude1

    Yeah man, lots of Nuttin's videos are directed specifically at people like us. Well, I'm not in your boat anymore, since Nuttin made me go out and buy two shotguns and 2 rifles in the last 4 months, but hey, keep posting man!

  • I want to coat my 10|22 reciever black but it already came with some type of silver epoxy paint on it. Do I have to rough up the old paint with sandpaper or somthing?

  • You'd absolutely have to prepare any surface you duracoat. - Veri (Nutn's sister)

  • Does that make you VeriFancy, ahahaha I do make myself laugh.

  • Hehehe!! -- Veri

  • @nutnfancy i watched the full video and noticed how much pride you put into your work... good job thats y im a fan because of your thouroness in reviewing and all your work

  • @MrMDNewman Smart VeriFancy!

  • First off, love the vid! Helped me cement my choice to go with Duracoat.

    Just one little pet peeve of mine: It's a 5 TO 15 scope, not 5 BY 15. The BY would dictated the size of the bell, probly being 44mm from the looks of it. 5 TO 15 BY 44

  • hey i just orderes a john masen Full Length Pistol Grip Stock for my ithaca model 37 do you thing that duracoat would work well on that synthetic/composite substrate or is it only meant for metal parts?

  • Yes you could actually. It will be expensive, considering 128oz is $320. But yes it would be very do-able.

  • Comment removed

  • cant talk stip smelling the pant

  • There goes nutnfancy painting his guns brown. :)

  • hahaha! We had a great letter last week from a guy who talked his wife into a coyote brown livingroom color by letting her believe it was "eggshell taupe No.5". :D -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

  • Hey thanks for the vid,i would have never discovered the duracoat,i just spayed the cadpat pattern to my rifle,check it out on my channel.

    this stuff is awesome,no comparison to spray paint.

  • I've got the exact same rifle sitting next to me(except you have everything I WANT on yours) and I've done the exact same thing to it except i used spray paint. the krylon paint is great, but I ran out and no one seems to sell it anymore, so I had to use rust oleum which dosn't hold up against anything as well. lookin forward to seeing it again in future vids.

  • I sent ya vid response of some of my weapons I've refinished. Dura-Coat is great stuff when done properly. Great job by the way!

  • be careful spraying on critical parts such as the trigger parts etc. you will add thickness to the parts and could cause them not to fit and or malfunction

  • Paint build up around the edges of the floor metal throws everything out of whack. Trust me, same gun, same thing. Once you start shootin a 300wm you don't want anything left to chance AT ALL. That rifle can make a shoulder bleed.

  • Can you use caliper paint also? Bake it in the oven?

  • If you take it apart or cover the essential areas that shouldn't be duracoated.
