Duracoat wear update.
Some of the knifes and guns have been used quite a bit since duracoating and it's holding up well so far.

wtf is tenifer???? looks like you didnt prep the gun good and you probably didnt sand it good

[grishfish]

@buckwheat40 No shit sherlock. Like I said in the video, I didn't "prep" the glock at all.

Krylon or aervoe wears fast from holdsters like 50 in and outs and my glock rubbed through at the trigger guard. Thanks for showing wear I will now duracoat my glock frame. Any suggestions on how to comets strip the aervoe paint without hurting the polymer?

[grishfish]

@elox02 Sandpaper would do it but would take forever. The fastest way would be to use air blaster (AO media). It should come off quick, without damaging the polymer.

honestly if it wears out that quick i dont see the point of paying a shit load for duracoat when you can geta big can of krylon for less than 5 bucks.

@SupremeAmerican You obviously didn't watch, or understand, the video. Don't feel bad though, lots of people have small brains like you.

@Ben85paintball My glocks are gen3 and even where the duracoat is worn off, the black finish underneath still looks perfect. So I don't know what your gun's problem is. There's quite a bit of discussion on various sites regarding the "change" in glock finishes but I'm no expert on it. Ultimately, if you have the duracoat professionally applied, they'll AO blast the weak finish right off and apply the duracoat directly to the metal. It should do well. Lookup ceracoat as well.

Not particularly fond of Duracoat or the finish it produces. I can see the obvious utility, but there's no substitute for a little oil and TLC. Many of my guns show wear in the finish, but with proper care, does it really affect durability or longevity? I've never had a problem with corrosion, because I wipe all my guns down with a combo of Hoppies No9 and gun oil. A variety of finishes as well including Nickel, Blued, and Parkerized. I do realize though that wear protection wasn't your purpose.

@Ben85paintball I assume you mean the tenifer finish on Glocks? Duracoat is tough but not bulletproof. I suggest you have it professionally applied.
