Gun Finish

jonesj8
Has anyone had any experiance with Brownelles Gun Kote. Bake on Laqueur I bought some and have not decided if it is worth trying on a firearm. It also says that it should not be used in parts subject to temperatures below 65 degrees. In Maine that is summer only. Does anyone know what will happen if it gets colder than 65.

Thanks

    A friend of mine just showed me an LC Smith that he took to a supposed gunsmith. He had to have a spring put in but when he got the gun back the supposed gunsmith had sprayed something on and and said he had to bake it. Needless to say the ribs came loose. Does anyone know what he may have sprayed and how to remove it. This produce was supposed to have been purchased from some gun products supplier.

    Thanks

    As a smith I have used this product several times. No problems as long as you spray on thin and back as required. Looks a lil like parkerizing if done properly and wears just as well.

    Have done two slides for my youngest son on two 1911's I built for him and one Combat Commander I redid for myself. Several rifle barrels and a shotgun or two...

    Ok I just read the instructions on the can of gun kote and it reads Do not apply in temperatures below 65 degrees F.this means that where you apply it (such as room your doing it in or buliding) should not be below 65F. Hope that helps [:)]

    jonesj8, I have been using the TR Gun-Kote for approx 3 yrs now and have had excellent feedback from my customers. The Brownell's product is the same only in the aerosol can. Be sure to completely degrease your parts-very important. You don't want oil leaking out of places when you bake the parts at 300. Do not use glass bead media to prep the surface as the finish won't have a good surface to bind to. I use an automotive detail air gun and bake in a homemade oven 2'X2'X5'. Smaller parts can be done in the wife's oven if she's not looking I suppose. Good luck.
