So I have a quick and easy question, I think. So I was thinking about painting my gun and was wondering if I could just use krylon or rustolium spray paint to get the color I want then use clear duracoat to make it last. Would that work as well as straight duracoat?

I used the Dupli-Color low gloss black on the reciever after converting. It is actually labeled as Engine Enamel. It held up great but was just to touch up the small area needed after converting. Says its heat tested to 500 deg.

Ok well I checked out the paint and such. But I was planning on doing colors other than black and doing detail work and such then clear duracoat over that to preserve the colors. Like metalic bronze and stainless and brass or gold. And I don't want to spend a ton of money on duracoat for each color. Just the clear coat.

Oh. Well I can say that my S12 had at least two different kinds of paint slopped onto it at the factory. Some was alcohol soluable, and some of it didn't come off with paint thinner, acetone, what have you. I didn't try paint remover though.

 

If you are going to all that trouble, get all the paint off, and do it from scratch. It's more work, but it will look better for it. Show us the pics.

yeah i was planning on stripping off all the factory paint either with paint remover or vinegar and some sand paper. but i will do this after the conversion, i am ordering the parts sometime this week and i plan to take pics of that process too. this gun is really just to have fun with and have a project gun. so i was thinking about doing a steampunk theme gun.
