CplHicks Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Is duracoat like a spray? Or is it something different. I've seen it mentioned on a few of the real steel forums Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-MOOSE- Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) The ways I've used Duracoat is through an air spray. My friend received a little bottle and hooked it up to the air spray and started painting the gear he needed and what I needed painted. It doesn't use much paint at all, thin but even coats if you know how to use the air spray. Just add a few coats and let dry, the paint is as hard as steel, i beat my Kevlar lid with a screw driver several times to get it to scratch/chip, it took some time. It's the best paint I know of, but for those who like wear, don't go down this road. And it was somewhat expensive, but we didn't pay for it anyway, so it's all good. And it depends on the surface you're spraying on, just like any other paint, a smooth surface will wear off more easily than a rough. Just imagine the somewhat rough surface of a Safariland, my buddy had painted that thing a few years back and it was a little beat up but nothing serious(He's in SWAT, so he uses it for work). Well, he tried to spray sand on it to get paint off and to ensure that the new Duracoat would stick onto the holster, the paint already there would not come off, at all. It simply looked a little dusty, and the holster had been worn and beat around a lot so its surface was not as extreme as a new holsters surface. The new coat has been on the holster for more than three years and minor wear. He painted his service rifle(M4), so it's very smooth, without sanding the surface and the paint has been on it for about 5 years, but it does have some scratches and chips, no big deal though.

CplHicks Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I always thought of Duracoat of being something that the item is dipped in. Cheers for that bud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-MOOSE- Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I always thought of Duracoat of being something that the item is dipped in. Cheers for that bud. I guess that you could do it, but you'd need a lot of paint for that. The bottles I used were probably 5 ounces, if I remember correctly. In that case you need an air spray, and I think it would work best that way actually, because it's so durable that you don't need any think coats or even several coats. My 6004 only has a single coat and as I said earlier, there's barely any wear and I've used it a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CplHicks Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Cheers again for that moose, will fire you a PM over save clogging up the thread. Fal that is a nice looking G17 ON another note, i've lost the front sight to my G17 today. What are my options for a replacement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Got a set of Proud sights when I lost mine, very pleased with them! They're metal, front sight screws in (so you won't lose it again!) and the rear sight slides in, but needed a little filing to fit my G&P slide... They're also three "luminous" dots, so much nicer looking than the originals Got mine here: http://www.platoonstores.co.uk/product/proud_Glock_sight Only a tenner as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snigel Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Beautiful. You're not going to remove the slack on the trigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soren Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks. Snigel, I've been experimenting with a shorter triggerpull but I can't get it to work properly so if you've got a solution, please do tell . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snigel Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I do Here's mine loaded: How I did it: See the screw on the trigger rod? Thats it, works fine for me! This way you can adjust it and then use some loctite to make it permanent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
