Clark , I'll give some feedback on the new airesol duracoat as the season progresses - the best part is you don't need a airbrush , and the stuff is cheap compared to dipping -- the tactical and ar guys love this stuff - I was interested in the ceracoat product another company makes but that process will set me back $200 verses $35-$50 for the duracoat with zero equipment needed -
There is enough in one can to do about 2 shotguns easy - and it comes in several colors , I'm going to have my wife make up and possibly sell mo bottomland and greenleaf templates so I can camo up some guns I have . I have to figure out what colors from duracoat I will need - for about 100 bucks I can probably do about 5 of my turkey guns in bottomland if I do them all at the same time
Last year I used the durabake version of the product , it's more of a bake on enamel , I cleaned the gun down ( 1187 ) with several bottles of bake cleaner and applied it - they want you to bake it in a oven at 300 degrees for a half hour , but I warmed it up with a heat gun - Durabake is intended for machine gun barrels , but I chose this product last year because I don't have a airbrush - my assessment of it , is that it is many, many times more durable than rattle can paint , but it will wear off with very heavy use
- Autozone sells a bake on enamel ( high temp )with cerecote in it for about $12 in primer grey , I may try a can and test it out on some hunting stools and blinds to see if it is comparable -
I am very happy with the versamax , I have enough turkey guns but I might as well see if I can get this one dialed in . It iis tapped for a scope rail, I'll get some piccatinny rail and get it measured up for a scope and choke by spring
