I wiped down my shotgun barrel and the metal part on the hand guard with several passes of acetone. Once dry, I hung the barrel up in the back yard and started spraying. It covers VERY well, not needing my paint at all. I then hung it in a spare room for two weeks to let it fully cure. It looks spectacular and should protect against rust. A week or two later I sprayed a .22 pistol slide with it and got some clumping. I shook it well, so I'm guessing it had to do with the nozzle being partially blocked from when I painted the shotgun barrel. Regardless, the finish still came out smooth. The next test is durability. The original formula is durable so I expect this one will be as well. If not, I'll edit this review. For now, it is a winner! Review: Park finish - Great product, follow the application instructions and it looks great. ## Features - The date on the bottom of the can is MANUFACTURING DATE. The shelf life of this product is 3 years after manufacturing or 1 year after the first use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0765D9GSD | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,371 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #598 in Shooting #747 in Hunting Equipment | | Brand | Brownells | | Brand Name | Brownells | | Color | Matte Black | | Container Type | Can | | Coverage | Full | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 3,089 Reviews | | Finish Type | Matte | | Full Cure Time | 7 days | | Included Components | Spray | | Item Form | Aerosol | | Item Volume | 8 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 0.34 kg | | Manufacturer | Brownells | | Model Number | 430107432 | | Part Number | 083-002-012 | | Size | 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Increased Resistance to Cleaning Chemicals | | Special Features | Increased Resistance to Cleaning Chemicals | | Specific Uses For Product | Firearm | | Surface Recommendation | Metal, Plastic | | UPC | 050806101722 | | Unit Count | 12 Ounce | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brownells - **Color:** Matte Black - **Finish Type:** Matte - **Item Form:** Aerosol - **Item Volume:** 8 fluid ounces - **Size:** 12 Ounce (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Increased Resistance to Cleaning Chemicals - **Specific Uses For Product:** Firearm - **Surface Recommendation:** Metal, Plastic - **Unit Count:** 12 Ounce ## Images ![Aluma-Hyde 2 Epoxy Based Firearms Finish Aerosol Can Matte Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mF4RtXgtL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this work on bare 80% lowers without etching the aluminus?** A: It is designed to work on bare metal.

Guns, cars, patio furniture. I have Big expensive air setups, little cheap air brush kits, have used duracoat, cerakote, krylon, Rust-Oleum in cans. But I was looking to get a can of something "better" for a cheap gun frame. Idk about the durability or quality of this paint because the can and nozzle don't work. Followed all directions on can exactly. Here's what happens. Can starts off spraying with some sputtering for a few seconds then it sprays a nice beautiful mist, then the mist randomly starts getting thicker and sputters out again ruining my frame. Well it ruined what I was trying to do, the frame is soaking in a stripper right now. The can was shaken for no less than 5 min. Can was warm when applying as per directions. It's just worthless. If I wanted a short cut a can of krylon would have done me better. Update: I have a lot of junk laying around and decided to try this on some stuff that I don't care about. What I noticed throughout the process is that using 220 micro grit paper to prep the surface is essential for the strongest bond. Normally with duracoat or kylon I use a 400 and it's perfect for a strong bond. With this stuff it is not. That being said, krylon is still stronger in my opinion. I oven cured the brownells for 2 hours at about 180-200 degrees on each surface prepped with different grits. Let all sit for 2 days then scratch tested them. On all of them the scratches were tearing of flakes of paint. I do not have this issue with kryon. The other big issue was the lack of consistency with the spray. As it went on really uneven and had these splatters and splotches. I still have that issue but in the process of oven curing, it smoothed out a little bit. Still not as good as cheaper options. So i still conclude that your should just use krylon. Do all your normal prep; sand, degrease by cleaning then low temp in oven to draw out more oil then hit with brake cleaner, paint with matte krylon (dries really fast between coats), oven cure for a few hours or air cure for a few days, finish with fast drying krylon matte clear coat. I promise you will have a better result than this over priced stuff. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brownells Aluma-Hyde 2 Epoxy Based Firearms Finish Aerosol Can Matte Black - Brownells Aluma-Hyde II Epoxy Based Firearms Finish (O.D.
