Duvall-609 Posted April 13, 2008 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

Thunderbolt Posted April 13, 2008 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

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

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. Quote
