It's called SFL (Solid Film Lubricant) a kind of graphite based paint that is "the only authorized" surface re-finish for U.S. weapons. Applied with a rattle can and air dried it is only used at depot level repair and is only to keep the aluminum or steel from corroading. It really isn't much good, as you mentioned it has a tendency to peel and flake off. Eric "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
