I have a 20" 8 shot Mossberg 500a persuader that my wife bought me used several years back, that is my HD gun. I love the gun, but it has scuffs, scrapes, thin blueing, and starting to get some rust in areas. I would love to refinish/paint this gun, but not looking to spend a fortune. I looked into hydro dipping, but im not gonna drop $200 on a paint job for a gun that cost $350 new. Also, not looking to get too crazy on the paint job. Im thinking I want to spray the whole thing in satin black or maybe the receiver and mag tube in OD green and everything else satin black.
I know the receiver is aluminum. Has anyone painted their shotgun with success? If so, what paint and method did you use? How has the paint held up, especiially where the forend slides along the mag tube?
I've heard to use Aluma hyde... but have heard people just spraying the whole thing with BBQ paint or Krylon.
Thanks and post pics of your projects if you have them.
