I'm going to be getting a new old stock Para-Ordnance receiver from Sarco. It's only available in "Dark Earth" color, and I want to make it black to match the slide that will be going on it. I have some experience with Gun Kote in the past, but my results were not good. I'm hoping Duracoat will be better.
Rather than mess with mixing and an air brush, I'm looking at the self-contained aerosol cans. Before I embark on this journey I have a couple of basic questions:
1. Out of the 200 (or so) colors available, which will be the closest/best match for the sort of matte or satin black that Para used on their early (Canadian) pistols? I'm fairly certain that "ParaKote" actually was Duracoat, but ... which color?
2. What kind of surface prep do I need to perform so the new Duracoat will adhere to whatever para used on their later Elite models?
3. How does one get the coating into inner areas like the inside of the mag well? I'd like to end up with a gun that looks like it came out the factory all black.
All tips appreciated.
