Thread: Black coatings..

Sounds interesting @Wild game havester ..
just looked at prices for cerakote @ greystone. 350 for a remmy or 450 for a tikka!!! they must be charging out an almighty hourly rate cause im sure there musnt be much in product when buying bulk. Id expect to pay around 200 for mil spec or the like am I way off? Might have to DIY..

If your in the depth south. Talk to Andy at Coating Supplies Ltd, he should be able to sort you out. Lechler have some etches, a black 'wash etch' would be best, as you don't want build just rust protection and a bond coat.

This is a single pack etch; https://portal.lechler.eu/DesktopMod...EntryId=136089

or for a 2 pack etch use Lechler 29107,;https://portal.lechler.eu/DesktopMod...EntryId=136093

For top coat a Black automotive base coat catalysed with 2 pack fast hardener, should give you the finish, light even coats give a flatter finish (less is best, just get proper cover for protection).( check comparability with primer.) you could also use camouflage colours.tans greens browns.

Spies Hecker Spectroflex maybe another solution, would need to check durability and gloss level.ask Andy.

If you want to paint your stock, you can get a soft matt finish with this ; https://portal.lechler.eu/DesktopMod...=Core_Download

Spray out test panels to test and make sure of the finish you require. Let me know if he can't do small quantities or point you to someone using these. The main problem will be the quantities, hardeners come in 1 litre. But if someone is using these in the area you can sometime buy just the amount you require. There maybe a car painter who could do this for you.

Thanks for that mate very much appreciated. . I will have a think about that. one issue is not having all my own spray painting gear. Cost would increase significantly buying it all but will pop in and see what the materials will cost next time I go past Clyde street.

Cheers
