Gun kote question

[jjoker16]

Can you put gun kote on a blued barrel or do you have to strip the barrel first?

and is it something that someone with painting/finishing experience can do or should it be left to the professonals?

It will all depend on the shape, meaning is there any rust on the surface????

also make sure before you apply that you degrease, I have done many slides in KG Gunkote and its easy to DIY, if you dont mind paying for the Job you might be able to get Will at RedJacket to do it eventhough he is probably super busy but I have heard great things of his coating technique and setup as everything is temperature control but it is def something you can do.

You can bake it in the stove oven.

always best to apply any finish to fresh bare metal

I just did a kote on my maverick....sanded with 220 wet sand paper

Brake Kleen and let dry

Sprayed and dryed , cooked in oven @ 300

Not much pic, but it worked good, not as good as bead blasted but ok

If you want to know my personal experience with Red Jacket PM me

Applying over bare metal will provide the best results, but it can be applied over blueing. BTW- Gun Kote must be applied with spray gun.
