What is DuraCoat
DuraCoat® is a two part chemical coating. Unlike other firearm finishes, DuraCoat® was created specifically for firearms. Other finishes are "spin-off's" from other industries. DuraCoat® is permanent. With normal use, a firearm finished with DuraCoat® will last several lifetimes. In the case of firearm finishes, a common misconception is "harder is better". This is faulty old-school thinking. Hardness means brittle and brittle means chipping. DuraCoat®, being elastic, will not chip or peel. Elasticity provides protection by "giving" when confronted with an impact. Elasticity also helps prevent scratches and mars.
DuraCoat® can withstand temperatures as high as 500-600° F. With "normal" shooting, your barrel will never get close to being that hot. If you are fortunate enough to own a transferable machine gun, or if you like to "blaze" with your semi-auto, do not put DuraCoat® on your barrel, as your barrel temperature will rise to over 1,000° F. In those cases, DuraHeat™ is used. This high temperature coating can handle temperatures up to 1,800° F and comes in 7 colors.
DuraCoat® is well suited for salt water environments. One of DuraCoat's® attributes is its extreme ability to resist salt corrosion. A firearm coated with DuraCoat® simply will not rust...EVER!
DuraCoat® can be applied to most any surface. DuraCoat® comes in 106 Standard Colors, 7 Electric Colors 3 Sheens of Clear, 6 Tactical Ultra Flat Colors, 5 Bloomberg Collection Colors, and 25 Camouflage Patterns. The Process - Firearms are completely disassembled and inspected; then degreased and bead- or sandblasted where applicable. Ferrous metals are then parkerized. DuraCoat® is applied using HVLP spray equipment. Finally, after curing, the firearm is assembled, lubed and function-checked.
What is DuraHeat
DuraCoat® can withstand temperatures as high as 500 -600° F, and is suitable for use with "normal" shooting. However, if you are fortunate enough to own a transferable machine gun, or if you like to "blaze" with your semi-auto, as your barrel temperature will rise to over 1,000° F. In those cases, DuraHeat™ is the coating of choice.
This high-performance one-part coating is capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1800°F. At high temperatures, DuraHeat™ becomes harder and more abrasion resistant.
DuraHeat™ Clear High Temperature Coating:
This high-performance one-part clear coating can withstand temperatures up to 1200°F.
