Aug 27, 2009 I can assure you that the Aluma-hyde II paint is extremly durable, in fact it proved to be the most durable rattle can paint I tested and that includes a few popular bake-on varieties( I perform my tests in a sandblaster, first seeing how long it takes to penetrate to bare metal and then how easy it is to get under and remove) In fact the only finish that I have tested that is tougher is ...
Due to size restrictions in an apartment complex, I decided to go for the Sig. All I had to do to prepare was acquire Brownells Alumahyde II in Coyote, some good degreaser, and learn how to detail strip a 226 frame. Once all of those were obtained, I could get started. First, I

Aug 04, 2018 A firearm is an investment. Its an investment in both personal and financial security, as nothing else on earth can protect you in a moment of danger yet hold its value well into the future. Unlike a vehicle, a gun thats protected with the right finish retains resale value no matter how many iles youve got on it. However, much like a car or truck, corrosion is a primary concern ...
Oct 26, 2015 Oxidation on milled areas of 80% lowers. I know aluminum oxidizes slower than steel, but it still happens. I did my first 80 with an anodized 80 from Modulus Arms, and got to thinking. I do not care to set up for anodizing, and even cerrakote seems a bit involved.
Clean with brake cleaner or lacquer thinner and do not touch the metal with bare fingers. Nitrile gloves (the paint will melt latex) will also keep the paint off your fingers. Warm the part to about 100 F with heat gun or hair dryer. Not too hot or the paint will dry too fast, wrinkle unevenly and look like crap.
Aug 03, 2014 I bought a used handguard that has several nicks and scratches on it where the bare aluminum is showing. I thought about picking up some Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black, but a lot of reviews say that the stuff rubs right off, while others say it works great.
Oct 25, 2011 When using the Alumahyde you might try heating the gun up first in the oven then spraying it, once its dry to the touch 3-4 hours depending on temp and humidty, cook it in the oven at 300-400* for an hour or so or what ever the can says. then let it sit for a week or so before putting it back togther. ... it may look like bare metal but its ...
Jan 28, 2006 229 Posts. #4 Jan 26, 2006. When I had a full auto AR lower it needed re-anodizing in the worst way. There is no touch up as anodizing is an electrochemical process. The whole thing needs to be re-anodized unless your friend will settle for some kind of paint (GunKote, etc) or dye-goo like Alumahyde. In sunlight either will look badly done.

Jan 18, 2012 For the spraying of the metal, I used the method that Brownells suggested on their site. I first sprayed one really light coat, not trying to cover all the metal. I then used a blow dryer to warm the metal and blow some hot air until the Aluma Hyde looked dry. I followed this with a second coat, just like the first. Then another blow drying.
Aug 18, 2012 Strip down to metal only---bake it at 200 degrees to get all the oil/cosmoline out (lots in the trunnion). Degrease with brake cleaner. Sand with heavy grit sandpaper. Degrease again. Dont touch with bare hands again (fingerprints will prevent proper curing/bonding to surface) Apply thin coat of Alumahyde II to all parts while disassembled ...

Jun 07, 2010 I just bought a Ruger 10/22 model 1140 catalog K10/22RPF. The spec. at the Ruger website lists the material as Stainless Steel but the receiver looks like it is a stainless steel finish on an aluminum receiver, does Ruger use stainless steel in a 10/22 receiver or are they infact alumunum. The receiver on a 10/22 LR is aluminum.

Dec 15, 2015 Flesh Wound6,838. Avoid Crowds. -- Ol Remus. Surface prep is everything. Totally clean, smooth as you can make it too. Some sort of primer for aluminum would be best prior to paint.

I shaved down the FSB on my PSA 16 a few months ago and installed a 15 Mi gen 2 SS, however, I recently noticed rust on the gas block through the hand guard. Once it was all cut down I blued it as best as I could with Perma Blue paste and a cotton swab, but I remember after about 4 coats of perma blue the GB still looked silver underneath the blueing.
I have a can of Aluma-Hyde II coming in from Brownells. These seem very prone to scratching since its pretty much bare aluminum. They also soak up oil like no other. They fit very snugly onto the mag body. One thing I would like Yam to do is to invert the 10-8 on the base pads. On a holstered perspective, the 10-8 is upside down.

Mar 28, 2019 LDBennett. I have a bare aluminum AR lower that I decided to paint with Brownells black Aluma Hide II. I am no painter as I am always in a hurry, it seems, but this time I watched the videos and decided to follow the directions exactly. The results were terrible. Rather than a uniform spray, the paint came out in globules.

Mar 14, 2009 I bought a 33806 A-Square barrel for an rifle and had it cut/recrowned to 22 from 24 so the muzzle is bare metal. Additionally, the high-gloss blue finish doesnt match the matte finish of the action. Id like to use a DIY finish like Gun Kote or Aluma-Hyde II. Ive used Wheeler Engineerings Ceramikote and while it is very functional it ...
Apr 26, 2008 Bare aluminum is highly reactive with air. It doesnt matter what you do to get the surface bare, chemically or mechanically, because it immediately begins to reform oxide to protect itself. An anodized surface is non-reactive, or inert, in atmospheric exposure. Thats why its appearance stays substantially the same over time.
Apr 25, 2010 BC makes a aluminum black but its only for touch up b/c using it on a full receiver will make it look like garbage. Anodizing is the way to go but since its a receiver the anodizer must be able to accept firearms unless hes willing to let you watch. (technically the firearm is never to leave your possession) Try dura coat or Alumahyde. S.
I will help you out and blast your parts with 120 grit aluminum oxide in my media blasting cabinet so you can refinish it yourself and save some money.

May 22, 2014 Preheating the metal (and the paint) is called for by some. Ive been using Brownells Gunkote on some bare aluminum AR-15 receivers, and it calls for both abrasive blasting and preheating. The prheat is a no-brainer here in AZ, I just set both the metal and paint out in the sun for a while!
And I would stiill park it for a primer layer. Makes a much better base than just blasting the metal raw. I AlumahydeIIed over the stock parked barrel on a Rem700 and it turned out great in my opinion. If I get it parked that will be the end of the quest. Im really just torn that its going to cost me $60+ bucks to ship it somewhere and back.

Jul 13, 2015 Prep work is key, remove all wax, grease, oil and dont touch bare metal with your hands before paint. Use a good degreaser, a tack rag and a metal primer. I just got done refinishing a .22 that had seen its share of abuse, but I didnt krylon this one. I used Alumahyde II from Brownells for the metal/aluminum parts.
Jan 26, 2015 Had to strip my x39 down to bare metal and repaint, after a botched paint job (it was too humid). The final result looked much better than factory. I used a chemical paint stripper because, I didnt want to lose any of the lettering. Dont feel bad. It happens to
