How to Spray DuraCoat

Gun collecting is a hobby enjoyed by many hunting enthusiasts. When hunting in the wild, the use of camouflage allows the hunter to approach game undetected. Due to the varying colors of nature in hunting grounds across the world, the factory color of firearms in a collection can sometimes stand out against the surrounding environment. This will often ruin the hunter's advantage of stealth. Fortunately, there are colored finishing sprays, such as DuraCoat, that allow gun owners to customize the color of their firearms to match the hunting environment.
