DuraCoat Firearm Finishing Intro by Nutnfancy

Paint is a quick way to get the color you want on your gun and lots of troops just shoot their gun with some Krylon and call it good. But it's not durable and most paints wear quickly. Enter DuraCoat by Lauer Weaponry in Wisconsin. They make a huge variety of durable epoxy finishes for guns that promise to wear extremely well. Moreover YOU, yes YOU, can even apply it. This is a quick video showing my application of "Stone" color DuraCoat to a Remington 700P .300WM rifle after appropriate preparation. The DuraCoat "Level II Starter Kit" includes an airbrush, air hose and couplings, 15 oz propellant can (which didn't work well for me... had to use hobby air compressor for good results), mixing bottle, color bottle, mask, gloves, measuring spoons, 2 oz reducer, 1 oz TruLube (not used), and good instructions. Surface preparation is the most time consuming task; you'll need to rough up smooth surfaces for preparation (Lauer also sells metal prep liquids which I feel are unnecessary). Make sure you do this in a ventilated area as shown. Results are impressive and I suspect I will be using their camo stencil kits in the future. Downsides are more expense (but much cheaper than other finishes like Robar's NP3), more work than painting and it might be hard to relate the catalog color to your desired shade (mine was lighter than depicted)./////////////Nutnfancy Initial Likeability Scale: 9 out of 10

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.

@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.

[BassmanSW]

@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!

[chadward23]

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

[WrenchinAllDay]

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.
