Does anyone have any experience with the Dura Coat firearm finish?
I looked at a pistol that was done and the finish looked good to me. They say that it is flexible and almost impossible to chip.
Would this be a good alternative for corrosion resistance vs the Teflon-Chrome or NP3?
It looks like you can spray it on yourself and let it cure without much of an investment in equipment. Just an air brush...

This is their Rem 870 Black. It seems like it would be easier than trying to hot blue at home.
thoughts?

stripped 3 firearms last yr. bought the airbrush,compressor, the whole thing. believed I took care of the metals good-obviously did not. I am having some areas of paint on 2 firearms that did not take.

Done the 94' .30-30 in a two-tone, od grn and combat blk. still holding up and looks very good. Next time and I am sure there will be, I will parkerize first then hit it with color(s). or just have one cerakote the guns.

Apply it over park or don't apply it at all. You really need some type of blasted surface for this product to adhere to or it won't work well.

You can surely apply it yourself. But I would highly recommend you have someone parkerize your firearms first. (Or you can do that yourself too if you like.)

Just my $.02 based on my experience with the product.

Ditto on the parkerize.

It also makes a difference if you bake cure it. Some guns like marlin guide guns and ar-15's will fit in your home oven, most bolt actions won't.

I've done three guns with dura-coat, all at the same time, about 2 years ago. My ar-15 was already parked, and I baked it in the oven. It still looks like the day I did it. My guide gun was not parked, but did get baked. Some of the edges started to peel on my hunting trip 2 weeks ago. My CZ 550 was not parked and had to air cure since it would not fit in my oven. The finish started to come off after about 6 months, and large areas of it rubbed off during bear season back in october. I'm pretty rough on my guns and I use these guns all year long. In and out of gun racks, truck beds, boats, and riding on tractor fenders.

It's definately worth it if you get it parked first, and bake it.

I used Gun Kote then the last couple have been dura coat. I sand blast the paint then bake. Has made ti throuh two mountain trips. Sharp edges are the first to go.
