Gave Brownells Aluma Hyde paint a try. It’s probably the best sticking paint I have used in a can. You do have to shake it a bit, and turn it upside down to clear from time to time. It goes on as thin film, but has a bit of splatter like texturing. You need to keep a 12-14” distance and make quick passes. It has held up well. Used about half the can on a scope and caps. Did an oven cure on it. Their FDE is close to Magpuls FDE. Could be a great option for 80% builds if a place won’t coat it without a serial number. Due to texture it’s best for outside parts that don’t have friction. I like it better than how smooth Cerakote is. In a few weeks/month I plan to paint a Remington 700 barrel/action with the rest of it, after taping off the inside of the action well.
Anyone else use Aluma Hyde?
