Duracoat express

I'm very happy with Duracoat (supposedly not nearly as good as Ceracoat so I'll have to try that sometime). Wanted to see if I could QUICKLY make a decent pattern.

Bought these colours, had CADPAT GREEN and WHITE on the shelf.

Degreased.
Base layer of LIGHT GRAY whilst wet freckled with COYOTE BROWN.
Dried 1 hour in from t of the lamp (this was not enough for masking tape).
Put on premade Flectarn masking tape.
Frecked with OD GREEN.
Used a piece of paper for partial masking and freckled with LIGHT GRAY.
Let it dry for a few minutes and removed all masking tape.

The day after I put on a decent amount of masking stencils.
Sprayed CADPAT LIGHT GREEN, freckled this with OD GREEN.
Waited a few minutes, removed all masking and put on WHITE highlights through a pierced piece of paper.
Left to dry overnight, swiped it barely with 1200 grit sanding paper just to remove edges.

They wouldnt taste too good would they?

You know I can't eat your ceracote chups bro

Thrashed myn in the bush for a year. My ceracote is worn from rubbing on my back on one edge but no chips. Suppose if I was using it as a walking stick it would chip.

Maybe what I was told was Cerakote wasn't?

Looks good Norway.

Can we get a pic of the whole job?

Sure, took some time - had to get it in the proper enviroment :)
Calling it "Alpine Flectarn" - a video blog on its way...

Very spiffy, Norway! I like it!

nice work norway
im still not sure if i could bring myself to paint a s&b:P

Bugger the S&B it would be the only fully cam Blaser I have seen. Nice work Norway. i want one of those stocks. $2,500 for one in NZ.

It's about the same here I think, pricy stuff especially considering production cost

The trick is not to paint the glass parts. :yaeh am not durnk:

No I didn't paint it

did you fit that bipod yourself Norway? that is exactly what I am hoping to do to my rifle. can you give any details on it? please and thankyou.

Guys after some good leads to send a rifle for a full re coating, does anyone know anywhere to get Cerakote done in NZ?

Cheaper to do it your self. if you already have a compressor...

lets just say I couldn't paint a my way out of a paper bag......would rather pay the $$$ for it to be done by a pro...

Doesn't Ceracoat need ovencuring to give proper result?
Anyone tried Gunkote? Supposedly the same but can aircure.

Yes.
Vertebrae.no sells it. Screw out the original, screw in the new one. Should you decide to order, tell them I tipped you (Thomas) and you'll end up with something like 35% discount total. That's the deal I have with them for letting them host my videos on their webpage - give all kiwis discount.

LINK TO BIPOD ADAPTER

I got a 10% discount... And theyre out of stock until next month.

10% and sales tax 25% should be 35%?

thanks Norway. sadly I dont have a blaster. one I can screw in or epoxy would be the go. Ill have to make something up id say

Found it.... disregard the above

Yeah they make the universal one


Maybe I would have got the 25% sales tax off as well? Won't know until they get some more of them in stock I guess.

I think Digit was going to bring in some of the VersaPod Glue in spigots. He might have already I don't know.

Here's the film Duracoat express

This one is not public in another month or so, so please don't bandy the link around outside this forum. Thanks :)

Warning: You might get an epileptic seizure with the flashing light in this film :D

Thanks for the link. The end result looks good. I might have to give some a go.
