Does anyone have any experience using the dura coat or dura bake coating? I recently picked up a CZ 82 with some dings. wearmarks and scratches and am wondering if this might give it a better appearance. Let me know...pro and con!

Hi Raz! I used Duracoat on camoflauging a Cemte and an HK91. I didn't bother to bake them (couldn't) but haven't had any major issues anyhow. I would suggest baking the finish on a handgun, however. And yes, it works!

I used this on this 45 auto you have to sand blast first and then bake it , you have to do the same thing with Dura coat and Ceramic Hearder pait is a lot cheaper
or you can cold blue it like this one

you could try this "oven" I made to bake works for me but since Norm turned me on to the header paint that is about all I use now but do bake in this oven. Have also used the alum-hyde with very good results also. it is Brownells version of dura coat.

even with Dura coat you are suppose to sand blast it , you might try a blue remover or navel jelly ( blue remover is the same thing as navel jelly , navel jelly is cheaper ) wash off really good with hot water and soap clean off finger prints with lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol the navel jelly will etch the steel so you can get a good bond and that's all sand blasting is for

I bought a CZ-82 from J&G before I bought the P-64. Almost all the CZ-82's have wear on the front of the grip frame from the extra magazine rubbing on them in the holster. I blasted mine and Duracoated it in Matt Black. I also bought some tritium sights from CZUSA and installed them on the pistol. Duracoat is easy to use and apply. I have done several guns including my 9 MM sub machinegun.
