Cerakote AR15

[C.G.]

Duracoat has always been available with a sort of aerosol attachment bottle system thingy and it worked ok. I'm sure the actual spray cans will probably work better. I've used Duracoat in the past and had acceptable results, it's still certainly not as good as Cerakote, but for the DIY person, it's worth looking into.

The thing that gets most people, I believe, is the prep work. To get any sort of durable finish, I mean one that lasts, doesn't chip or peal, it's all in the prep work. Parts have to be taken all th way down, all fasteners, roll pins etc removed, properly de-greased, media blasted, soaked in an appropriate solvent, flashed off in an oven to get that deep down oil out, soaked again, and flashed again until it's all gone. If a gun has already been used, it can be a lot of work just to get it ready to paint.

If you are doing just a single straight color, the prep work should easily take 2-3 times longer than the actual painting.

What you have stated there is true about any paint job, whether it is car, boat, etc., but most people don't get it.
