I've used DuraCoat a LOT on different firearms and I'm happy with each and every one.
As long as you are patient, follow instructions, and do the required prep.....you are GTG and will be happy with it.
Oh, and even a caveman can do it.

I agree with this and it is easy to touch up if needed. I had a small spot that I scratched on my CZ82 (my fault) and it touched up great.

WOW! That GAU8 was awesome.

True many Gunsmiths use DIY finishes such as Duracoat and Cerakote but not all. We offer our own proprietary coating that we have developed
I believe that Birdsongs Black T is another
There is no miracle hide all finish
No matter what finish you use the key to any refinishing job is the prep work that is done to the metal substrate first.

CCR refinished my Sistema and I couldn't be happier. It was in poor shape and now it's a little jewel. To top it off, they are the nicest people to do business with.
Gratuitous gun pic:

I attended Duracoat University and will stand by this statement. Duracoat does not chip or peel if it is properly applied. Lots of guys think they have degreased a part and they haven't. One rivet or pin will hide a lot of oil that will prevent the Duracoat from adhereing properly. I had a devil of a time with the first shotgun I did. I have used Duracoat on many contact surfaces in actions and it wears very well. The new Duracoat Slick will also make your action very smooth. Most Ceracote is applied by professionals and lots of Duracoat is applied by DIY folks. I believe that is why Duracoat gets a bad rap. Ken
