I've used the aerosol gun-kote that Brownells sells a couple times, each time I got a little better at it. The biggest issue I have I think is overspray and pooling in certain areas. I have seen professionally done guns that were spray coated and wondered how they get the internals covered uniformly.

I want to coat the inside of a shotgun receiver, what is the best way to get in there and deal with the inevitable overspray? One idea I had was using the make-up sponges my fiancee has to wipe down the recesses, but even that will be tough as some areas are pretty hard to reach and i don't know if i'll just end up wiping the stuff off altogether.

If anybody has any advice or tips i'd appreciate it, thanks.

Sponges wont work and will only smear it. Pre-heating it will help to prevent runs but the best way to get into tight areas is with an airbrush using an adjustable tip and variable air pressure. I do those kinds of spots using low pressure and a fine tip so that the spray is very light. Then just build it up on those spots.
Good luck, Mac.
