Spray paint that matches Saiga finish.

[C_1]

I was just wondering if anyone have tried some spray paint from a can that matches well with the OEM Saiga rifle's finish?

Hi temp engine paint, Krylon, Walmart $1.14 paint, bbq paint, Alumahide, etc etc..

Let me know. Thanks!

i use the hi temp stuff from autozone (forget brand). it matches romanian park pretty well, low gloss black. i bake @ 200 deg. for 1 hr.

Flat black alumahyde II is close enough.

rustolum low gloss 500 degree engine enamal is pretty damm close. from what i heard there is a rustolum textured low gloss paint which is probobly a little better

Flat black alumahyde II is close enough.

+1. Aluma-Hyde II from Brownells is good stuff. Hard wearing and easy to use. Here is an AMD-65 build I did with the flat black Aluma-Hyde II.

i used 2000 degree flat black engine paint from autozone and it worked out pretty good.

So far:
-Alumahyde II, flat black
-hi temp engine paint from autozone, low gloss or flat black
-Rustolum 500 degree engine enamel, low gloss black

Thanks for the responses guys. Keep em coming..

Nobody else did a conversion on their Saiga, and painted the bottom of the receiver, gas tube, and/or handguard retainer?

Yep, but I sanded and refinished the entire gun.

Ha ha. Yeah. That is probably the best way to do it, but we're just going to mask most of the gun and paint the bottom of the receiver. Cheap bastard special style

i bead blasted my rifle and duracoated it because i painted mine a while back and it was just never the same. for a easy swap for a trigger guard look at saigatechusa.com

For the alumahide from brownells do you have to strip the rifle first? What is the best way to do this?

[darkest2000]

I haven't tried any of the other finishes mentioned but I've found Duracoat to be a very close match if you use a mixture between semi gloss and matte.

SVD or NDM?
Absolutely beautiful. I had to pleasure myself at the sight of this.

Thanks， it's an NDM-86. Wish it was a real SVD but don't have $7K~15K they seem to go for nowadays, and it's offlist too (heck, it's C&R eligible）

Simply remove the piston and it turns into a CA single shot. Go out of state and pop it back in you're in business.
