rocinante 100 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I got some high temp rustoleum paint. How about while I got it torn apart just painting the whole thing rather than just the bottom of the receiver. Any reason why not? It is not like the russian paint finish is art or anything.

Telly458 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 (edited) That's pretty much what I did with mine,painted the reciever/barrel just before final assembly (used the same paint,too ).Then I painted the fcg,bolt carrier and top cover gloss black,just for a contrast.

greatmoose 4 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I've used the Krylon BBQ paint to very good effect. Even better is the Sherwin Williams industrial marine spray paint. It's essentially Duracoat in a spray can. After you heat it, it's dern near industructible. Another good option is Diplicolor engine paint. Only problem with it is, it's kinda thick. Works good, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bugeye 2 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Its the screw in the bottom of the handguard where the sling attachment goes. Remove the screw and the sling attachment...then push the handguard out of the receiver and pull it away from the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Genocide 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Do these bake on paints resist strong gun cleaners? My factory paint job is gone around the trigger and bolt carrier, needs to be stripped and repainted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocinante 100 Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Would this paint (1200 degree Krylon high temperature) benefit from baking? How about if I slap an AK on the barbie? I have a gas grill outside. It is long enough so the frau might just look at me like I am insane (happens a lot) but not too bitchy because I stinked up her house. Probably has to be an oven huh?

hoop762 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 i would think the grill would work just fine, as long as you can keep the internal temp around 300F of so, you should be good like wood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mudsock 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I did my .308 with duplicolor 1200 in the bbq. I had a thermometer to check the temp and was able to vary the temp by blocking the lid space. I have a front and back burner. I turned off the back and the front was barely on. You have to vary the lid opening because even at the lowest setting it can get over 450. Results will be different for different grills. I have a charbroil so maybe a weber will do the trick. I won't use charcoal though. I did some small parts in the toaster oven and I wasn't to crazy how that came out. Tony Rumore said he does his firearms with a pizza in the oven so that may be the trade secret to his finishes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I may have posted in the tech section, or someone else did, someplace here... was a link to a CHEAP paint oven, made with stovepipe, and a hair dryer, or heat gun... they used metal grates to fit inside, or coat hangars to make holders for the gun to rest in, then they closed off one end, and put the heat gun/hair dryer in the other... fired it up... when the barbecue thermometer read 300... they backed it off, and let it cook on low, till done... all done OUTSIDE... no fuss no muss, and CHEAP! look it up...

ArcFault 4 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Do these bake on paints resist strong gun cleaners? My factory paint job is gone around the trigger and bolt carrier, needs to be stripped and repainted. Brake parts cleaner will completely strip Duplicolor, so if you use it as a degreaser you can only do so before the part is painted. If you need to do a touch up later you pretty much have to use a detergent type degreaser. I found this out the hard way , luckily it was only on the gas tube so it wasn't a big deal to just strip and repaint it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocinante 100 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 It doesn't say so on the can but I think this rustoleum 1200 paint probably could benefit from baking. I don't know if I did not prep properly (purple power, acetone, water) but it just keeps coming off. Two days later I still get black on my hands handling it. Guess I will have to redo it and as soon as the mama's back is turned slap it in the oven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I lightly scuffed mine with some 300 grit paper and then cleaned it real good with Jasco etching metal primer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw some vent pipes with insulation around them in a dumpster and requisitioned one. I cut it down to about 3.5 foot, cut a hole for my heat gun, drilled a hole for a thermometer, covered the top and let it rip. Unfortunately it only got to 188 degrees F. bummer. I am thinking about punching a couple more holes and using my propane heating torch to see if I can give it a little more kick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
