By Kathrine Franks


Gun enthusiasts want the best when it comes to protecting their firearms and customized finishes. Especially when those finishes include ferrous metals, wood, stainless steel, synthetics, and alloys. There is no heating or baking required. Here are a few tips on using DuraCoat Aerosol, and be sure to ask your Lawrence, KS supplier about Peel 'N Spray templates.

Advancements in science offer new possibilities every day and now people have choices of textures for customizing their guns. From several selections of camo to attractive pearl finishes help protect the outside of all guns. All of these choices help personalize weapons for quick and easy identification.

One of the nice things about this product is the hardener that comes with it. The aerosol can is a can within a can and allows putting the hardener in without making a huge mess. The usual ratio of 12 parts DuraCoat to 1 part hardener, and greatly speeds up the drying process. Change the ratio to 10:1 for a higher glossy finish that shines like brand new.

When using stick on templates, use mineral spirits and a clean rag. The mineral spirits will not affect the finish of your project but will remove only the residual stickiness from the adhesive compound. When completed the surface is free of any sticky feeling and the degree of intended gloss is not adversely affected. Please remember to clean thoroughly the weapon before applying any clear coat product.

For the fastest drying time, many gun owners use a heat setting of 110 degrees F for about 1 hour to speed up the process and reassemble their weapons. Once the surface is completely dry most cleaners, abrasive solvents and lubricants will not harm the new finish. For best results allow three to six weeks for full drying and curing.

For people who want to colorize their guns, DuraCoat comes in over 200 different colors, and you can mix those to get an exact match of shade you want. Just think of all the possibilities of identifying a weapon just by its color and texture. Not to mention being proud of the choices of hues and designs.

Remember that a clean surface is the best to ensure the desired results of any firearm customization. Once dismantled check all interior surfaces, and if necessary use a mirror to make sure all corners and crevices are clear of debris. DuraCoat Cleaner is excellent for this procedure because it leaves no film or residue.

As always, make sure the firearm is unloaded and completely dismantled for both safety and access to all areas of the surface, especially any tight corners or recessed areas where the human eye cannot see. Any coating product hardens after drying and presents a possible malfunction in discharging the weapon. Use a dental tool mirror if necessary to examine all internal areas.

Keep gun safety at the forefront of all activity involving a pistol, rifle or automatic weapon. After all, you could accidentally shoot yourself! The ask a well-trusted supplier about this new technology that allows people to customize their guns. Choose the colors and textures you like best and enjoy a new experience with a gun that reflects your personality.
