- Let's look at Duracoat paint! I have two different colors that I've tried out, one from their standard line and the other from the tactical line. I don't know everything about paint, but I do paint for a living, so here is what I think about Duracoat. I chose to go the route of using their bottled paint, but they do have options for spray paint and aerosols if you want to simplify things.
Check them out on their website if you are thinking of painting something.

I did a Tokarev that had a worn finish and it looks amazing in lizzard, olive drab, and sniper green. Get some white, black or both and use it to lighten or darken original colors.
I’ve done a bunch of painting of firearms with spray paints, and done multiple colors to break up the outline. I’m curious to find out how well the Duracoat does vs krylon spray paint over time. I’ve abused the heck out of the spray painted rifle and it’s held up.
The Tactical Finishes look much more professional and have no shine. Mine have held up very well. Better than the factory finishes in some cases. They have the texture and look of anodized aluminum. A Browning Buckmark I did you cannot tell is not the factory finish. I like the look of them better than cerakote even.
That is great! I’ve noticed a little wear on the mag floor plates I did, but that’s probably from them getting dropped on the ground.
You can actually adjust type of finish by thickening/thinning and by playing with the air/paint ratio on your sprayer. I've found it works better with trigger type airbrushes. I've been a fan of Duracoat since way back. I sprayed a giraffe type hexagon color scheme on a top and it looked a bit to girly. The pistol sat in a backpack that moved in and out of trunk of car and when I finally decided to redo it the removal taught me just how durable it is. I soaked it in MEK for about 36 hours and it still would not come off. Ended up sandblasting. The longer the Duracoat cures the more durable it becomes. Be warned though... prep prep prep is absolutely everything.
what do you use to thin these paints and what do you use to clean the spray gun? Laquer thinner? or?
