Tο hеlр tone down thе “black rifle” look, I wanted tο paint іt, bυt paint wears pretty qυісk, аnd аftеr watching Nutnfancy, thеn USNERDOC, аnd others hаνе gοοd success wіth Duracoat. I knew I hаd tο give іt a try. Thіѕ іѕ thе first time I hаνе painted a firearm ѕο wish mе luck, аnd аѕ always gοοd feedback іѕ welcome.
how much does duracoat run?
shoulda just bought the coyote brown Gerber ASEK m/
Hey man check out my first duracoat project, just started a channel and I will be duracoating all kinds of random friends guns.
man, you need to make the rest of the gun look like the cammo on your magazines, they rock!
@mcvideo8686 heck ya
@jeffcantbestoped hardware store
@beast12101 were did you get the aresol ?
Duracoat the scout next dude . . . keep up the good work
Camo painting guru : ) My dad would use leaves as templates on his deer stands & hunting boxing & ended up decent results. I liked the magazine on the far left as well. I think sometimes less is more. Good work brother
I think you should have kept some areas black on the gun. I have seen some nice tan jobs where parts were left black and i think the two tone idea really works very nice.
I was looking around for images to show you but i couldn’t find anything good but i mean this kind of idea: flickr. com/photos/50952562@N05/?savedsettings=4684918927#photo4684918927 (yes, it’s a paintball gun – not mine)
A tip for spraying is to use some grass and then spray over the top for a nice natural ’stencil’ effect.
Looks Great! Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year!
Man!, beast it looks great!! What about the vegetation method you used to camo your fuel cans? This method has never failed me in all of my years of military service. Give it a go and see what happens.
Bro, it looks great. I like the camo design on the mag that you put in the rifle too. Can wait to see it finished. Sometimes the rifle/camo looks even better when the paint wears alittle anyway.
The canteen cup test is a great idea. Hey Beast, shoot one side of your hammer and lets see how fast it goes away? This should give fast feed back at a cheep cost too? Do one side with paint, the other Duracoat, into the tool box, and let’s see? Damn, I’m gona have to get some of this and play myself.
Thanks for a great vid!
Happy New Year
i wouldnt do it simply because i suck at that craft lol. i like the gerber sheath and interested in the durability of it on the blade. i know my gerber came with a rust proof nitrogen coating you think that may affect the duracoat? i want to make it forest green or olive drab. . .
Good job bra. Don’t let any of those elitest b***hes tell you s**t. Aloha
you will need to watch all of you cleaners and gun solvents. most will remove the duracoat. looks good. to get a good spray gun try a auto parts store. stay safe.

p. s. move it some were warm and it will cur fully in 10 to 14 days. if you need any help getting a blade shaving sharp or a custom knife built give me a call.
Looks nice man. I have used spray paint for my long gun but it wears fast and is really hard to clean.
Also I really like the diamond pattern!
Sweet set of vids
Thumbs up!

What kept you from using the old, tried and true method of camouflaging your rifle? That is to take burlap strips or other suitable material and wrap or tie them on in a way that breaks up the outline of the weapon. The breaking of the outline is what’s going to give you the hiding capability, not changing its color. Also, you can change the traditional camouflage in minutes for every season and area and it doesn’t cost as much. I see Duracoat more of a style change, like fingernail polish.
@YokoWenis duracoat calls their flat paint ,”tactical” so it was the tactical dark earth
@shortmag429 look forward to it
@IronRangeSurvival it might work, of course the company would say it has to be their product only, but Im not to worried about it
@Patriot36 thanks
Looks good beast. Nice to see you experimenting with this.
@IronRangeSurvival Very valid point, and a very important consideration for many people. Let’s face it, just because Americans have (or had) a high standard of living doesn’t mean we have $2000 kicking around to spend on a rifle. Especially when $1000 will buy you one that does all the same things, and probably will last at least 30 years anyway. I’d love to be rich enough to always be top-of-the-line firearms, but instead I invested in tools to keep ANY firearms running, and buy cheaper guns.
