Ive done several guns in Duracoat. I like the idea of chemically cured over having to heat it up to cure. I did my new AR last weekend, I put four coats on it and it made a couple of the pin holes tight, I just ran a drill bit thru it by hand to clean it up. The Duracoat drys to the touch in a day and is ready to work with in a few days, the paperwork says its fully cured in a month. Once its fully cured it is hard as hell.

Here is the AR I did last week its their "Tacticool Grey Green"

Thanks.. The Duracoat is actually like two years old, I forgot I even had it. I figured I would see how it looked on an AR. I just ordered a few more colors the other day for a couple more projects I have going on. If you order it directly from them, it only takes a few days to get, and they have most of the colors in stock. They kind of screw you on shipping so its best to buy a bunch of stuff at once.
