Title: Duracoat Guns
Post by: Longshanks on April 17, 2013, 09:32:13 PM
Anyone have any experience with Duracoat coatings on their turkey guns? Curious to know how durable the coatings are and also how difficult is it to remove from the gun. I have had a couple of guns done recently and I am sure they may come back with some overspray in the barrel and or choke. I've heard acetone will clean that up fairly easy. Any experience or thoughts about duracoat?

I wanted to try it but opted for the durabake on my 1187 , its more durable than rattle can- It came out okay but its a pain to put on , but it sticks on pretty good

I read about that durabake, it sounds like its really durable.  I had a couple of wingmasters that were shiney guns and I was having to tape them every year.  A friend offered to do a couple of guns for the cost of the paint.  OD green on the metal and did a textured black/grey splatter paint on the stocks. Just got one back and it looks great. Ive been reading that acetone will remove the duracoat but it wont hurt the durabake. I will post a pic of them when the other gun is finished. I was a little concerned about overspray due to the action, barrels and chokes being polished.  Sounds like a little acetone will get it off if thats the case. Good luck with the turkeys. Thanks.

I put Duracoat (flat black) on a rifle a few years back. Still looks the same as the day it was painted on.
