[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 103978, member: 2011"] Just a quick reply, if that's possible for me.... Have been learning airbrush techniques in preparation for doing serious things to rifles. Note that I have used nothing beyond out door crafts paint so far. Turns out its pretty tough. Did my coyote walk & stalk rifle with that cheap stuff and it is holding up remarkably well. Great stuff to practice with. I was leaning towards dura coat which has many colors and dries quickly and cures at low temps. People 'say' that it isn't as durable as one would expect, though I have no first hand experience. Teflon is said to be more durable but I look at my wife's pots and pans and wonder. The color selection is less than dura coat, but I'm not sure that it matters that much. I will be doing all metal including scope and the stock when I get going. At the moment I'm leaning towards water based auto paint and a final clear coat for the stock and teflon for the metal parts. Keep us posted on where you are headed with this idea. It will take some doing but if there's a will there's a way. [/QUOTE]
