    Default Buffer tube touch up

    Looking to touch up two used AR buffer tubes. Any of you know of a good flat black spary paint that is durable and easy to apply? The stuff I tried did not work to well. Thanks

    Rustolium make a 2000 degree flat black spray paint. It's chemical resistant and wears pretty good.

    Theres also the always tested and tried Durocoat.

    I have some flat black Aluma-Hyde left over from a project. You are welcome to slide by and we can spritz them and bake em.

    You can try BBQ paint or engine enamel, but it will still ware more. I have heard good stuff about aluma-hyde.

    I've used Aluma-Hyde on a few projects and it's GTG. Not sure with the wear and tear on something like a buffer tube though.

    I have found it is pretty durable if you prep the surface well like blasting and bake it afterwards. It is an epoxy based product whereas Duracoat is just an industrial paint, similar to Imron paint.

    Hey Guy,
    If you don't mind paying for the shipping, remove them and send them over, I'll teflon them for free for you.
