    Painting or Coating AR 308

    I'm close to completing my build and need to paint or coat my receiver and foregrip and possibly the flash hider.
    I need help with options and costs. I do have quite a bit of $ invested and want to protect my project.
    Thanks for you help

    Post in the Gunsmith Forum! just sayin...
    Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

    I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

    Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

      DIY or looking to send it out? Alumahyde2 is good stuff, just follow the instructions very closely. I've done maybe 9 guns with AH2 and only 1 failed and it was all my fault, I failed to keep the gun up to the proper temperature during when it was curing.
      There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
      The wise, learn from the mistakes of others.
      The smart, learn from their own mistakes.
      The others, well......they just never learn.

        I am looking to do it myself but if there are better coating/paint if I send it out I am willing pay.

          Krylon... cheap, found everywhere, and touch ups are a breeze.
