Title: Dura-Touch problems?
Post by: Snoody Bastid on March 07, 2011, 03:01:55 PM
For all you Browning Gold & Silver owners out there:
Anyone ever have any problems with the Dura-Touch coating having bad reactions to harsh cleaning products or insect repelent? I remember reading about that somewhere. I'm looking into the NWTF Silver 3" auto. Thanks..

Modern dipped camo coatings are just ink on top of paint.  Any solvent that will lift ink is going to damage any of them.  Some insect repellents will wipe the ink right off. Even gun oil will make them shine.  The outside of you gun should only be wiped down with a dry soft rag.

Thanks for the replies. I understand the camo finish applications, I just thought there was something specific to the Browning/Win coatings. I currently have a camo Supernova and had no problems. I'd just hate to spend a grand or more on a gun only to have the camo come off after a couple of hunts.
