Gun kote experts

[nicitaja]

So, worked through a thread here on a oven, but this is a different question.

I have 2 or 3 finished riffles I am thinking about refinishing. All of them were finished in the last 3 months, and parked and oiled. I have read people,talking about parking and then "oiling" until the time comes to gun kote, really? With this theory, the 3 guns I parked and oiled 4 weeks ago could be cleaned, baked to make the oil sweet, brake cleaned again, and then be gunkoted? Can recently parked and oiled firearms be brake cleaner "cleaned" and the gun koted without having to re-bead blast / park/ then paint? Just curious, would save some steps for a few parked guns that I think should be painted instead of parked and oiled??

Comments? Experiences? Let me know

read the instructions.

A parked finish that is grease/oil free is best for adhesion.

Soak in acetone to get the oil out. Then heat up and have acetone in a good spray bottle to get anything that weeps out.

or boil in Krud Kutter. That will get all the oil out.
Then hang parts quickly and shoot with paint as soon as they are dry and relatively cool

I understand that a fresh park, warm from the 190 solution is best, I was just asking if I could get away with some firearms that were recently parked and had oil rubbed it. I have read people saying that they olil the parked guns to stop the corrosion until they get around to painting, which made me think I could take a step back from guns that I parked and oiled, and could get the oil off and then paint them, saving me from having to re-blast and re-park...

Just about all of the applied gun finishes need to parts to be warm when spraying. Especially with gunkote. That stuff will run and will be shiney as hell even if it's a flat or matte color unless the parts are hot.
There is a way to spray moly and gunkote with light seepage and have it stick. That only works for small areas though.
