Duvall-609 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Does anyone have any pictures they can post of duracoated benelli's? I have been thinking about it but some of the guns I have seen on the net look almost toy like. Any ideas? Thanks, Duvall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbolt Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I don't like Duracoat, it's too glossy and has a thick, bumpy texture. I do like Norrells Moly Resin . It's very smooth and extremely thin, very durable against scratches and nearly indestructable to solvents. Grayish-Black flat is a perfect match to real parkerizing. Here's one of Joe's great M1014 tubes I refinished with Grayish-black flat Moly Resin: Moly Resin texture on an M1 Caribine bayonet lug, see how the engraving is unaffected because the finish is so thin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If too much hardener is added to the mixture, you can get a glossy finish. Otherwise the standard colors aren't glossy. Still, Duracoat does offer a "tactical" line of matte finishes if the standard colors aren't to your liking. If the Duracoat finish had a thick and bumpy texture it was applied wrong...unless that was what the painter was going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracoat is a ok finish, but it isn't hard enough. Anybody wanting to have their stuff refinished, I highly recommend: KG Industries http://www.kgcoatings.com/ Talk to Chris Fazio, he will hook you up.
