any thoughts on Duracoat? My buddy (tikihut27) has painted guns with it... Says it is applied by airbrush and is pretty tough stuff..

Have you ever watched American Chopper? You are only a few hours away from Nubs and Justin. Like the show or not, they did some pretty sick paint jobs.

I'm looking to get it done for a reasonable price. I know that 'reasonable' is a subjective term, but under $100. That duracoat stuff is inexpensive and apparently made to bond to stuff like brushed aluminum and make a nice, hard coat.

Wow... everything I've read about duracoat sounds like it'd be the perfect solution! all ya need to do is scotchbrite the aluminum a bit and it's good... plus, it's apparently super-hard and would be very difficult to chip.
Crazy thing is, the paint and hardener is only around $20.
I'm gonna play with some pictures and see what color I'd like best. Blue would be unique, but black is always an awesome choice.
Decisions, decisions...

I still have to decide if I'm gonna do it, but if I did I was thinking either black or blue... like, this color:

Of course, leaving the locks and stuff silver. May have to do the handle too.

Well... the case was painted but came out a baby blue (Geoffrie called it infantry blue or something, I forget). I'm gonna email Duracoat and see what happened. I'll post a couple pics once I snap em.

I can see why you're disappointed Dan, but the Matte Black one looks bad as hell
:-)
Was that done using the same product?
