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 the stick on templates, they leave an adhesive residue that is easily removed using mineral spirits and a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to remove all of the adhesive before applying a coat of the DuraClear so that they do not leave bubbles on the finished project. Also use a good cleaner to remove oil, grease, and any other contaminants before applying new finishes.

Typical drying time is overnight. Placing the weapon in an oven for just 1 hour and baking it for about an hour at 110 degrees F speeds up the drying process. At this point, it is possible to use abrasive solvents, lubricants, and cleaners without destroying the finish. For full curing time allow three to six weeks.

Keep in mind that DuraCoat is available in over 200 colors, including Clear and those 200 colors when mixed will match any color in the spectrum. The Aerosol Kit contains a spray can that easily allows mixing the dryer with the color mixture for perfect results and easy to access and clean up afterward.

Before getting started be sure to use a good cleaner to remove all the dirt and debris that accumulates, even if the firearms stored in a closet or gun bag. DuraCoat Cleaner dries immediately and leaves no residue or film thereby ensuring a smooth and attractive finish.

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.
