Anyone have any experience with any of these coatings?
I want to do my stock s/s barrel and receiver in O/D green.

I prefer DuraCoat. It can be air dried easily on metal, wood and plastic, the colors can be mixed for custom colors and it's very durable. I apply gallons of it a year. Not an endorsement, but my website below has a photo gallery if you want some ideas to go further than single colors. One other thing i really like is that DuraCoat is flexible, while CeraKote is very hard. this allows for a lot of heat resistance, and if you need to do any touch ups you don't need to remove the entire finish as you do with finishes like GunKote. For a cheap alternative Brownell's AlumHyde II works great from a spray can, is pretty durable and easy to apply. prep is the most important thing with any of the spray on finishes.

I used a Krylon camo in sand color for a base coat then a Krylon camo green for a break-up. It's worked well so far. But I'm making no endorsement either.

Hey thanks for the info, I checked out Aluma-hyde and its looks like a good product for my needs.

Cerakote applicators can be located by using the applicators search map from the NIC Industries Web site. NIC Industries - App search

Looking at the photos posted I can suggest that a firearm coated with Cerakote can be painted over using Kyron or other spray paint. The paint can then be removed by using acetone without effecting the Cerakote finish.
