Thread: Paint...

Those example look bloody good. One question. Do you have to mask off the inside of the action/chamber before painting, or does it all get coated?
I have an old 303 that I am tidying up and painting is the way to go I think. I tried re bluing out of a bottle but it just doesnt seem tough enough.

I drop a case in and lightly tap it in to make sure its all the way in .... and a small peice of foam at the other end in the barrel

Thanks Leathel. I will give it a go.

Nar B, Super-Etch is a primer ( it's pretty hard, has a close to matt finish & dries real quick ) so you just need to give it a good clean ( I just use Meths ) marsk up the action & give it plenty of light coats

Cheers Phil will give it a stab

Philipo, did you spray anything on top of the Super-Etch ?

Yea and is it safe on other surfaces i.e stocks or is the etch only for metal

just remember that an etch paint is not UV tolerant and it will eventually chalk up a bit (depends on how long it spends out of the cupboard ) and a primer isn't water proof, some do pretty well for a while but they will let it through eventually

Reckon a top coat would be a good idea?
