    I’ve used DuraCoat on two of my rifles and I am very happy with how it came out. Bought the DuraCoat from https://www.finlaysltd.co.nz and it was about $80 or so.

    The first rifle (Howa 1500) I did with a Preval Spayer and the second rifle (JW15) I did with my spraygun. Both methods worked equally fine.

    When you prep the rifle, make sure you use a good degreaser, preferably the degreaser that Finlays supplies as it leaves no residue. I applied the DuraCoat in multiple thin layers and used heat gun to flash off the solvents between coats.

    Was straight forward to do, and once the stuff cured is tuff as!

    Here is a short clip of how the Howa came out - this was matte black:
