Hello all. I just have a question for any DuraCoat users out there. I know some of you might prefer Gun Kote or Cerakote and all, but I will be using DuraCoat. I have (cold) reblued firearms before with decent results but not great. And I hear DuraCoat is quite easy and tough with great results. So I will give it a try. Now I'm not usually one of those Tacti-cool freaks who think they need to wear multi cam and a vest when they go shoot there guns... but I'm a Marine in Afghanistan and when I get back next month, I will be refinishing my USP to sort of a memorial piece of my first deployment as a Marine. So I want to use a true Marine Corps coyote brown for the lower of the pistol and HK semi gloss black for the slide. My question is what color is closest to true coyote brown or flat dark earth? I've looked at flat dark earth, magpul, and such, but they are just desert tans and are not dark enough to be a flad dark earth or coyote brown. They are all much too light in color. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and God bless.
P.S. I hear DuraCoat loves fresh parkerizing so I will also be parkerizing the slide. But what if I like the park finish? Any thoughts on a coyote brown/parked HK? I just want a new finish and a memorial piece. Don't care if the slide is duracoated or just refinished.

someone else to do it. Some peple love Duracoat and I have seen some good looking jobs done but I just don't think it lasts like a good coating from one of the Pro's like Robar or Birdsong. Reward yourself and spend a couple hundred of that combat pay. Glad you are making it back OK and thank you.
