Anyone painted with krylon?

[Beprepared]

krylon tends to be a bit weak , watery and a bit runny . id suggest rusto or duracoat if your gonna use spray paint .but at the same time i dont ever think ill ever understand the painting of rifles . burlap dose the same thing and does not devalue the firearm .

The base of black is Duplicolor 1200 that I like allot. the finish is krylon and testors paint. Still looks good after 5 years and it is easy to touch up. This is my only camo gun. I got bored one day and this is the result.

True enough! No doubt in the expensive finish category, not Krylon. Just pointing out a reason why one might "paint" a firearm. Yes, burlap probably work much better as camouflage, but has less "value" in regards to self expression. We're men (I think) and we still like to look cool while we hunt.

Cerakote... I think that is in another catagory all together! I mean if the guy could, cerakote would be the hands down winner, but the prep and oven time kinda take it out of the arguement. I have seen really nice paint jobs done with spray paint and duracoat alike. It still comes down to price I believe as the main difference along with how much you care about flaking and chipping.

i completely understand , id do the same in that situation . but i does break the heart to see an undamaged rifle attacked by spray paint .

I'm on the other side of the fence on this one. A rifle like an AR or AK variant, i.e. fighting rifles are a weapon. If it makes it more lethal or practical, go for it. I'd rather my weapon not be seen at all than to look cool. Of course this only comes into play if you plan on crawling around in the weeds when your putting your weapon to use. Doesn't really make much sence for a home defence gun, unless you paint it to match your drapes. Just a thought.

But back to Krylon. I personally hate that crap. Chips and scratches way to easy for my taste. I want it done right the first time. KG gunkote works like a charm...haven't tried duracoat yet, might for my next AK build.
