Did a few duracoat jobs on my own and just thought I'd share and maybe you guys can share your art work.

My first job

First attempt with some stencils (I got addicted to skulls as you'll see...)

Weapon of opportunity...

Some free hand striping.

Digital stencils I bought were hard to work with and I'll probably never use them again, or I'll switch to the sticker type.

 

[ppland]

Looks great. Love the skulls.

Very nice cableguy!! I think I'm going to try some sort of stencil on my next project, the skulls look awesome!

Thanks! I get all my stencils from sickstencils.com. They are a thicker plastic (Mylar I think) but because they are thick, offer a greater shading value due to them not laying completey flat. My next attempt is going to be their "hex" camo pattern. Going to try and cut them accordingly to lay perfect on the work.

My buddy's SBR AR I did couple weeks ago, wasn't impressed with Lauer Weaponry's color match to their claim to Magpul FDE, but I've been told its darkened up a little more since assembly and matches a little better than the pic.

Nice work. What kinda vehicle are those boggers on?

What's the cost/difficulty of duracoating? Last hurricane that came through f***ed up the finish on my 1187, got some rust spotting

 

[Labeeman]

How are you sanding the receivers and barrels? Did you bead blast them?

 

[Nick1230]

You can blast them with aluminum oxide, I just use scotch bright pads, not the cheap green ones but the rougher maroon colored ones, if the metals in real bad shape I'll blast it. Duracoat recommends that you just rough up the surface.

Cost is low, one 4 oz bottle of the stuff is $17, an airbrush kit from harbor freight is $10. And by the way I've used that same $10 airbrush kit for every job I've done so as long as you keep them clean they will last. Application is simple, it's almost impossible to make a run in the paint and it drys extremely fast. Deeper pit or scratches will require more coats

Nice work guys!
Where do you by the 4oz bottles from?
