shotgun paint

Postby duckhunter14 » Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:17 pm

i dropped my shotgun in a brake and could not find it for three weeks and when i finally found it i broke it down and cleaned the mud and gunk off of it. in the mean time all the blueing (sp?) came of the metal. i was wondering what kind of paint i could use to paint this gun back black.

i have painted several and it usually doesnt hold up. i would do a lil more research on having it dipped. once they get wet like that and start to rust it usually doesnt stop just from my experience

Send it to Duracoat for less than $200 it will be in he camo pattern of your choice. I had my SBE dipped about 5 years ago and it still looks as good as a new one and I've put it through some stuff.

I just sent my SBE to duracoat in Georgia for dipping. $175.00 plus shipping. Takes a week in house or less. lots of patterns to chose from.
