rodent.22 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I had decided to change colors on my OPS, and after I opened up the stock the time was right. I saw that Krylon had a new paint with what they called Fusion bonding technology, made in several camouflage colors. No sanding or priming was required, just a wipedown with thinner. A quick disassembly, cleaning and spray. After reassembly and 7 days total cure time, it is supposed to be very chip resistant. I'm giving it a try. Went on great, dried well. I put on three lite coats, dried with a hair dryer. I'll post up durability reports.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodent.22 Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Well guys it has been 2 weeks since I shot the Colt with the Krylon Fusion Olive Drab. I have run 750 rounds thru the gun, removed the upper for cleaning, laid the rifle on a salt-treat deck several times, and carried the arm in the trunk a couple of times in a covert carry case (softsided). So far not a scuff or chip. I'm very pleased with the Krylon. The secret to the bonding is CLEANING the arm and a good wipedown with thinner prior to spraying it. Multiple thin coats and one semiwet final coat. Seemed to work WELL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 UPDATE: The Krylon Fusion is holding up very well, I would use it again in a minute. After 6 weeks it looks like it is new, not wearing off at all..... :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
