I wasn't able to find this when searching but maybe I just fail at searching for stuff but what kind of paint do they use to paint receivers from the factory?

Epoxy paint.

I use Rustoleum high temp Bar-B-Q paint or semi gloss black to touch up. Works great.

You gotta number for it?

[imarangemaster 315]

RUSTOLEUM Semi gloss black (CLOSE MATCH) #7798

 

RUSTOLEUM black high heat ultra # 246755 (very tough)

Any paint that is dull and non-reflective? Both of the things I've tried have had too much sheen.

[imarangemaster 315]

The high temp has little or no sheen. It is no quite flat black, but almost.

I use DupliColor Low Gloss Black Engine Paint. Hard to tell the differnce from a distance.

I just did two conversions a week ago, and used VHT with ceramic. It's used for painting exhaust headers. It can withstand temperatures up to 2000 degrees. I followed the instructions on the can, and after two light coats and one medium coat,(waited a day to completely dry,) then oven baked it at 250 degrees for a half hour, cooled for a half, baked again at 450 degrees, cooled for a half, and baked another half at 500 degrees. (was supposed to be at 600 degrees, but my oven doesn't go up that high!)

I then waited almost a week, and lubed them all to hell. The finish came out beautiful, completely flat black, but took on a slight satin sheen after the oil'n. It's some tough stuff. I banged them around on the barrel where the handguards are going, and didn't even scratch them. My previous conversions were done with high heat rustoleum, but I like the VHT better. Paid under $6.00 for one can at Napa auto, which took care of two rifles.
