I know this might have been covered before but I cant seem to find where I had seen it. Ive got an old Remington 870 Magnum with wooden stocks that have already been crudely painted once before, and I want to give this gun a fresh look, but not really interested in having it dipped. I feel more than confident that I can paint it to my liking, but before I did, I had a few questions.
QuoteI know I will need to tape it up in areas that are not to be painted, and a scope or optics are not an issue so it should be relatively straight forward.How should I prepare the surfaces so the paint will bond to the metal and wood? Sandpaper, scotchbrite pad and alcohol?
QuoteWhen I am taping areas to be protected, should I tape the magazine tube as well as the action bars? Ive googled pictures of it painted and not painted. Im just curious about cycling the action after the paint has dried.
QuoteAlot of what Ive found on the internet reccamends using duracoat or brownells alumihide II, but I will probably go with kyrloc or rustoleum. Some people even mentioned using a self etching primer, would this be advised?
QuoteFor the fine detail work with a brush, what kind of paint should I get? exterior enamel ?
QuoteAnd after the paint job is complete what should I use if anything to seal or clear coat the gun with?
