Anyone in northern CO have an airbrush setup and the talent to Duracoat? I need some FDE done but I have never ran an airbrush and wouldnt know where to start.

I don't know if your looking for "professional" work, but there is an outfit in Black Forest that does it, but they are pricey.

I've a buddy in AR whos self taught and does some pretty impressive work (for his self) He claims ^ stuff is just Sherwin Williams paint.

How about buyng a cheap set up and learning a trade that'll buy more toys? The world needs more adventurers. [Beer]

I fully understand being on a budget. As someone who does finishing, I avoid Duracoat myself. I have my own feelings about the stuff. If you have some interest in a paint job, or general questions, just shoot me a PM.

I have krylond a few coyote rifles over the years and they looked good and lasted ok with a matte finish. Just havent ever had the guts to do it to an AR yet and not sure how it would hold up to the oil? I like the rustoleum textured paint my self, sticks good and has some grip. Also havent found a spray that matches the FDE.
