Can you duracoat aluminum

Thanks Dean it has been almost a year now since you did my pistol and 7 mags. With the exception of a couple of weeks this pistol has been carried 10 to 16 hours a day in a kydex IWB holster.

Over rounds have been sent down range, including an advanced pistol cl great customer service, perfectly smooth, even application and quality workmanship. Tim made the old Sig look new again and really went the extra mile to ensure I got what I wanted. WTM My 25 year old police Beretta 92F was down to bare metal on every sharp edge from daily holster and handling wear. It now looks brand new I received my package today and I have to tell you that I am completely satisfied and happy with your work.

I'm also very impressed with the fast turn around! Do not bead blast, if you are blasting use AL oxide. Bead blasting can create too smooth of a surface. If it's parked or anodized just degrease. As stated DC loves anodized or parkerized surfaces. I park all steel before using DC. I don't no if its been sealed its spikes upper direct from them. Personally, I prefer acetone over alcohol. Brake clean works well. Once fully coated, you can either:.

This fact enables endless gun restoration possibilities. This prevents the touch-up from being noticeable. To touch-up a blemish:. How come other firearm finish manufacturers boast hardness, but make no mention of elasticity? In the case of firearm finishes, a common misconception is "harder is better". This is faulty "old school thinking". Hardness means brittle and brittle means chipping. Most likely, the surface was not clean.

Elasticity provides protection by "giving" when confronted with impact. Elasticity also helps prevent scratches and mars. Courses are held at our facility in Chippewa Falls, WI many times throughout the year. We no longer offer a finishing service. Aug 4, 1, 0 33 Cleveland, OH. XLR is gonna get a coat this weekend. Gonna start prep tomorrow. I have some AAA grade steel wool and acetone. Is this safe for use with aluminum? Can I use the same prep methods?

I haven't duracoated this stuff before. Dec 19, 1, 1 52 Mandeville, LA. Re: How do you prep aluminum for duracoat? I'd give Kyle a call or email. I'm sure he answer that.

Steel wool is not needed unless you were wanting a different texture.

I might hit it lightly with the steel wool to get a little more traction but it's pretty good how it is. Mags and rail came in yesterday, thanks again for the stud, still not sure which I'm gonna use. I'll be calling you about that new folding mechanism this week or next.
