I searched and read the threads regarding DuraCoat. Several suggest sand or bead blasting blued metal parts (and degrease, degrease, degrease) before applying the DuraCoat finish. How about sanding with 600 sandpaper or even fine steel wool in lieu of blasting? Does one need to remove all the original blue, or just rough up the surface? Thanks!
Another question, for those who are familiar with the DuraCoat line ...
What stock color(s) would appear closest to a traditional blueing job? I understand that a coating won't look like blue, but what might come close? Maybe the semi-gloss (HK) black? Thanks again!
