[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 229713, member: 3733"] Is your intent to alumihyde the whole gun regardless of the scratch? To fix the bare metal area, I would use some 44/40? cream, the stuff Brownells sells. apply multiple coats, between coats use 000 steel wool to help blend it in. If you want to paint the whole gun with alumihyde don't bother fixin the spot. You are going to have to bead blast or rough up the gun metal with sandpaper so the Paint will adhere well to the metal. If you paint on the smooth metal it will chip flake and scratch relativly easy. Years ago I did a gun with alumihyde. I made a spray box and ran an elec. heater in the box to keep the gun metal at 120 degrees. Worked well with multiple coats and was quite tough, but careful with some cleaning solevents. [/QUOTE]
