Duracoating in Chamber and Bore??

[jason045]

I wouldnt let that scare ya dinny.  I havent done any kind of pretreatment or parkerizing to any of mine and no problems as of yet.  Its all in the surface prep.

I'm planning to Duracoat one of my bolt guns.  I'll be damned if I'm paying to finish it twice so I won't be having it parkerized first.  I'm going to soda blast it first then spray it on with an airbrush.  A buddy of mine is a retired car painter and he's going to help me mix and spray on the DC...  I'll report back with pix if anyone is interested.

I hear ya, but I'm not sure I want him fixing anything else of mine. I, too, have a fine shotgun that was coated by Oakridge Custom Finishing and was pitted and rusty. It looks better now than it did 50 years ago when my grandfather bought it. We'll see how this DIY shake and spray kit works, I may be doing all my own in the future.

Thanks, Dinny

Would you care to share the name of this individual or business, so we don't receive the same poor results that you did?

And FWIW, foam earplugs work quite well to protect at least the muzzle from overspray.  They may not be large enough to fill the chamber.  This guy is just flat out lying to you, Dinny!

Don't get anything duracoated in Jeffersonville, IN. 


Thanks, Dinny

Geezerbiker,
  This quotation was taken from this website.

"My first efforts were before I found out about Phosphatizing for a base coat, and I had two guns come back to be redone.  Since I've been Phosphatizing first,  my return rate has been zero, which I like."

Granted, it was found under the Gun Kote tab, there's not much difference between that and DC.

You might be able to find a bargain on parkerizing here on GBO.


Thanks, Dinny
