Best Spray Paint for gun

[b.a.customkydex]

Spend the $$$ ONE TIME and have it hydro-dipped..or cerakote. That way,you don't completely de-value the gun. If it's a gun you don't give a crap about..and could care less if it only brings $50 when you go to sell it...then by all means..Krylon it.

I'm not paying extra for a gun dipped or painted period. To me paint off any sort does not add value, it's what the current owner wants not necessarily what I want.

This. Its a custom thing. Its just like people who burn holes into the grips of polymer guns. I wont buy one that has been spray painted or has holes burned into the frame.

They are making a new ceramic coating that is high temp,comes in a fe different colors and works very well. It does need to be heated in 3 steps to cure it properly. Once done it is very durable and looks great. You can get it at Advance Auto for $13.00 a can. I used it on a Para 12-45 and it turned out awesome,tried to scratch it with a drill bit and it did not scratch,chip, nothing. I also gave it a Frog Lube bath & bake to bring out a bit of luster.
This stuff is not your typical paint. VHT ceramic header coating.

I will buy a Krylon gun as I can strip the paint. Something hydro dipped or cerakoted is worthless to me.

Places like autozone also have a lot of different color hi temp paints in a spray can you can try.

I can't get past the odor. The smell of paint on any firearm just ain't for me.

That they do, for awhile after a weapon has been kryloned it'll stink for a month or so. I'd imagine longer if the weapon didn't see any use. It does go away though.

Hey constitution hour, tell us more about that VHT stuff. Have you used it on synthetic stocks?

alumahyde 2 works way better than krylon but its kind of expensive for a spray paint. As long as you let it cure right I would put it on par with duracoat as far as durability goes. Plus it can go on just about anything
