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.

For people who prefer a difference in the appearance of their guns, DuraCoat offers different textures to please most gun owners including varieties of camo and pearl. Some people create layers of textures and mix and blend colors to help identify their firearm from that of anyone else.

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 templates that stick on the weapon, be sure to remove any residual adhesive materials before applying the product. A clean, dry rag and some mineral spirits will free up and remove the adhesive without damaging the project. Any residue left behind causes bubbles and other distortions that blemish the surface.

Typical drying time is overnight, but the process is accelerated by baking the item for 1 hour at 110 degrees F. At this point, it is safe to reassemble the weapon and test fire it. Once the weapon is thoroughly dry, most cleaners, lubricants, and abrasive solvents will have no adverse effect on the finish.

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.

The most important part of the whole process is to clean the weapon and all its parts. Dismantle it and place the parts in some order that help you remember how they go when putting the gun back together. DuraClean is excellent because it removes all grease, grime, dust, dirt and any other debris without even leaving a film.

Please make sure to unload the firearm before starting any cleaning process, or customization and even then make sure the safety of on. Once the cylinder, magazine, and the chamber is empty, continue dismantling your weapon and place the parts in the order in which removed to make it easier to reassemble them, later.

There is no such thing as too much safety when dealing with firearms that use explosives. When cleaning and oiling guns use the proper tools to dislodge any debris especially inside where dirt often collects. Then use the very best grade products to clean, maintain and customize your entire collection.
