Thread: Bergara ba13 I Duracoted

so got some of this stuff in Rhodesian green, cos its different, and cool
Read the instructions many times over and waited a couple weeks to let it sink in.
Still made some mistakes, like dropping the bloody barrel/action while on the last coat
Need to wait longer between "light" coats

Maybe buy a hobby air sprayer, cos the Preval one I had sprayed quite large droplets.
Have the odd run, probably me and "just one more coat"
Overall I'm happy with the end result, will leave in the safe for a couplee weeks to harden.

Ill get some more Dura in blue/black to do me BSA 243 soon.

Not a fan of the colour but good result none the less

yeh man, im not so keen, but meh its gonna get scratched up anyways.

Very nice, not my choice of color, but each to their own. Nice job.

I used a standard HVLP spray gun with a 1.2mm needle (i think) and thought that was a touch too big for doing action work. Fine for stocks. A detail gun or a large airbrush might work. The trouble you would run into with the airbrush would be getting the viscosity of the paint thin enough to spray properly.

Yeh ive seen ppls on YouTube using air rush... seems to take forever.

Whats the total lenght with suppressor fitted?
Also how is accuracy snd with what load / bullet weights
I have one on order!

There a bit heavy, but nice and compact. With a load it likes, they'll tac drive!
