[QUOTE="Clark, post: 972031, member: 6600"] [img]http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/Sav1102239-29-2013.jpg[/img] I have painted 4 rifles with Aluma hyde from Brownells; a Savage 110 223, a Rem700 7mmRM, a com Mauser 260, and a VZ24 military Mauser 7mmRM. It is cheap ~ $10 per spray can, which will do ~ one rifle. The guys at Brownells are very helpful with videos, email, and on the phone. I consider it a one part epoxy paint. Near Seattle the weather is warm enough for about one month per year. So I built a paint box [looks like a miniature outhouse] out of wood, cardboard, and a 500 Watt heating plate from the Salvation Army. It has a baffle in the bottom so the paint can't drip onto the heater. It has a meat thermometer in the top. The hangers are wires that come through the top to handles, so I can turn stock or barrelled action hanging in the paint box. I like to paint at 90 degrees F. I like it better than the Lacquer paints that give me brain damage or the Krylon camo paints that peel off during the hunt. [/QUOTE]
