Has anybody used both Alumahyde and Duracoat firearm finishes? If so, which of the two did you like more? Of course, neither of these compete with Cerakote.
I've been Duracoating my guns/gear for years and haven't been disappointed. But I'm seeing some reviews saying they thought the Alumahyde was even more durable than the Duracoat, and Alumahyde is about half the price. However, there are complaints that the Alumahyde colors did not match what they wanted (such as Magpul FDE not matching the Magpul FDE furniture on the gun). Just looking for more data points from those who used both. Thanks!
