My second Duracoat job, my first for hire

[Ride Da Fire]

nice job, you must be bored. Whenever you feel bored again let me know, I'll drop of my guns and let you coat it.

Very nice coating.

Best write up on how to color the engraving on your firearm

Crayon looks good, but won't last. You go and blast a few mags through the gun and the crayon will melt.

The laquer sticks that I use will harden once cured and will not melt or chip out. I get the sticks through Brownells. They have Red and White, and I think I saw Gold somewhere as well, but I think they only carry Red and White.

I've got white lettering on a Glock that has lasted 12 years so far. Even with lots and lots of holster wear, the laquer stick lettering is still hanging in there.

You're inspiring me to experiment.

you can buy a box of 12 assorted color "paint sticks" (They are an acrylic based crayon)at Hobby Lobby for around $5. they rub in like the wax, but set fairly hard and leave a fairly durable mark after an hour or so of drying time. You can remove it with penetrating oil and a rough cloth.
I bought a set a couple of years ago and haven't even made a dent in them. They have a "Silver" which actually looks like a dove grey that really POPS! on a matte black surface!
