Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to prepare a firearm for DuraCoat application?

For optimal DuraCoat adhesion, thoroughly clean the firearm and abrade smooth surfaces using 400-grit sandpaper and fine steel wool. Ensure the metal is properly prepped and free of any contaminants, especially silicone-based lubricants, before applying the finish.

What are good color choices for a precision rifle's camouflage?

For precision rifles intended for concealment in natural environments, light colors like tan, OD green, or sage are far superior to black. These lighter, earth-toned colors blend better with foliage and terrain, reducing visibility.

Can Brownells Aluma-Hyde be used as an alternative to DuraCoat?

Yes, Brownells Aluma-Hyde is noted for its high abrasion resistance and durability, making it a suitable alternative finish for accessories like bipods, though it is not an epoxy finish like DuraCoat.
