I may get a WASR soon, and while they are parkerized (as I understand it), I am thinking of applying another coating over it. I have used Gun Kote, which is quite good, but the surface prep usually includes blasting and/or good parking. It also REQUIRES baking - which I would have to do in the family oven.

Duracoat advertizes:

"Absolutely! DuraCoat is extremely easy to apply. Anyone can do it. DuraCoat was designed for the average gun owner. Preheating, baking and blasting are not required. Expensive, space consuming equipment is not needed. Simply clean and degrease the surface prior to application. If you don't have access to an airbrush, HVLP spray gun or conventional spray gun, our EZ Airbrush (#1SAB) is all the equipment needed and sells for less than $25.00."

I know that some folks on this site have duracoated over bluing, and other "non prepped surfaces, and did not bake. How are your firearms now? Have you also used Gun Kote - which do you like better in the long haul?

Thanks.
 
I've used GunKote myself but never DuraCoat. Have you checked out Brownells Alumahyde II? I really like it on things that aren't bakeable.
