Any paint has no place on a firearm, blue or parkerize it.  Larry

I was under the impression that Black-T was a baked on finish similar to powder coating.. Painted and baked on finishes of many types certainly DO have a place in firearms finishing. Each have a right to their own preferences but I have used several and they certainly have a place. If the Black-T is the baked finish that I'm thinking of(CRS is rampant) then it would get my vote. It's a fairly tough long lasting finish.. The GunCoat finishes have certainly been getting a lot of attention but I have no direct knowledge.

You got to remember, these kids now a days wants everything and wants it right now.

They do not want to pay to have a gun blued or parkerized.

They want something that you can spray on and when it dries - you don't have to clean it or oil it or take care of it.  Or so they think.

Guess the only good thing about painting a rifle is that I can buy them real cheap in the pawn shop cause no body wants a  painted rifle.  Larry

I have an FN Mauser blued action that I had rebarreled to 264Win a couple years ago and opted for a Stainless barrel, then had the barreled action sent off somewhere by the smith and had black teflon coating put on.  The teflon will chip if it is bumped against something hard enough.  I am having a mild case of CRS and don't recall what its called but the treating/coating the S&W Performance Center puts on some of their PC1911's is guaranteed not to chip or scratch, etc.

I have had good luck using Brownells Aluma Hyde II.  The first rifle I used it on was a sporterized Brit Enfield. That was about four years ago.  I've since shot many rounds through it and wipe it down with Hoppes after each use.  The finish still looks as it did when first sprayed. 

Since the Enfield, I have used it on a couple .22's.  I'm very satisfied with the results.

I use a rather extensive preparation process before applying and heat the pieces to be refinished.
