Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Epoxy spray paint

I have used Aluma-Hyde from Brownells with good success in the past. I wanted to order more, but they are back ordered from a couple more months according to the gal on the phone.

Any other similar products on the market? I have see propeller paint for airplanes, but the only colors are gray and black that I can find. There are some other tan type colors in appliance paints, but they are gloss.

Thanks.

Birchwood Casey markets an aluminum black. Usually in the display in the gun section of your sporting goods store.

Alumna-hyde is available on Amazon. Its a little more expensive, but if you need it its there

The Birchwood Casey is not paint . It is a chemical conversion coating similar to cold blue and not a very good one at that.

Agree!

have a bottle at my elbow and am thinking of throwing it out.. touch up fades quickly.

Hmm nice to know. Never used the B-C stuff before, Thanks guys.

Saw that, but only a few colors. They are out of the good ones. Someone is trying to sell a can of coyote on eBay for $300. Lol

I haven't used it on a firearm, but I've used the VHT Epoxy paint that is on Amazon. I had to use the white to paint a carbon fiber pressure vessel for the military that didn't want an all black tank heating up on tarmac. The white works pretty well. I would guess the other colors would do the same. They claim it is good up to 250F. Not sure what color you want, but here's a link to the black: https://www.amazon.com/VHT-SP650-Gl...mp;psc=1&refRID=RACR68QXZV6XFY51406J

I use the black frequently on gun projects if I've machined an area and don't plan to parkerize or otherwise coat it. It seems to work really well.
