    Has anyone ever applied this themselves?

    I am wanting to color match the aluminum freefloat handguard on my Bushmaster Predator to the Magpul Flat Dark Earth PRS stock I just installed.

    I just cant seem to find any spray matte color that matches or closely matches that color.

    Well I just tried some of this and have some questions.

    I used a can of Dura Bake on some mags and a 10/22 receiver. The finish was a little duller then I had hoped, but the finish is very very hard and paint like.

    I just tried some Duracoat yesterday and I am not sure about it. It was very easy to apply apply with an airbrush. It went on very smooth, has a great color. The finish seems more like a coating then a paint which is fine with me. The problem I am having is that I can scrape it off with my thumb nail [V].

    I sprayed a shotgun BBL for buddy and had some mags laying there that needed finished too so I used the extra paint on them. I have the bbl up and have not touched it but was messing with the mags as they would be easy to fix. It has been 24hrs since I did the finsh, am I not waiting long enough?

    On all the parts I used a wire wheel on the Dremel and some CLP to remove the old finish and rough things up a bit. On a couple of the mags I used some 240 grit sand paper to get off rust spots (Sten mags). I then cleaned, then degreased all the parts.

    Any idea why the finish would come off?

    Try paint/furniture stripper. If that won't do it the you might have to blast the part.

    Try acetone, thats what the Duracoat thinner is. Just let it soak then wipe may come off may not havent tried on a long hardened part.
