In the hot AZ summer I had a bad experience. within maybe 30 min it started shooting out clumps of duracoat no matter how much I shook it. I think the hardener must have accelerated the cure time. I didn't know about the using the hair dryer to flash it. I was just letting it air dry 10min or so between coats till I got the sputter ruining the whole job.

YMMV

KW applied this CRAP paint on two of my rifles without me
knowing that's what he would do. I expected them to be blued,
and never discussed the finish.

Like all paint, it scrapes off without much effort or excuse.

Save your money and have a proper finish applied.

I’ve had really good luck with the Duracoat in a can stuff.

I’ve done a few rifles with it now. Wear spots like the end of the muzzle is about the only place I’ve noticed it coming off.

Preparation is the key.

I had a barrel, trigger guard/floorplate and scope bases done in Cerakote by a professional applicator for $125 and it came out fantastic. Buy once, cry once.

Lean 'em against something hard like a shooting bench
and you'll see what I'm saying will show up as scratches.

Sure it can happen with bluing too but not as easy.

I'm with George here. This spray paint is not the proper surface treatment for ferrous metals on a firearm. It looks cheap and is just a coating. Blueing, black oxide, or maybe even Parkerizing (phosphate) is what you need. Now, on the other hand, these spray paints, the modern versions, are just the ticket for something like an alloy receiver on a Stevens Model 89, which came painted as new.

I have a M-37 Ithica that Dad kept in a basement closet that
rusted. I couldn't get it all cleaned off. Guns not worth the cost
to have it refinished.
I cleaned it up nice as possible and sprayed it with Aluma Hyde II, flat black.
Sure looks fine now.

Yep, it's paint too. At least it's protection.

I do hope George, that the rust does not come back or continue under that coating and on the metal/gun underneath. Bill K
