Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy

[Flash]

Anyone ever use this for grip frames, ejector rod housings or anything? I didn't think that spray epoxy paint was currently available until I saw this at Lowe's today. I bought a can but I'd like to hear from any of you who might have some experience with it.

What colors did they have? Their website only shows white.

Also says it's not intended for high heat application, such as oven interiors or stovetops. Hmmm, I don't think guns get that hot, do they?

Lowe's had Black, White and Silver/Stainless. I doubt that my guns get that hot. I might test it on a few small parts before spraying a grip frame. I intend to bake it at 275 degrees for a few minutes to cure it also. I'm pretty excited about this paint. I have a couple 77's with some scratched floor plates that this might work well on.

I have used several spray can "epoxy" paints, not that particular one but several that were air dry and they all never dried all that hard. A true 2-part epoxy will dry rock hard. Check your marine supply stores.

I bought a slightly rusty Mossberg 500 barrel. Knocked the rust off it with steel wool and a wire brush, then hit it with cold blue, then shot it with VHT semigloss black high-temp header paint. It's been on there three or four years now, no problems!

One of the reasons (a big reason) that some of those spray-on finishes don't dry completely is "humidity"! The vast majority of these do not like "moisture" of any kind so be advised, if you live in a humid environment, you will have to accelrate drying with heat and ultra dry methods. Also "insure" the surfaces are "dry & clean" of any and all petroleum products and dirt/dust..............................Dick :idea:

With small parts, I like to "bake" on the finish, 3 hours at 325°. Stinks up the house pretty well, so I do these when I think the wife will be gone for a couple of hours after the baking is done, to let the house air out.

If the paint is very soft, it can pool at the bottom where the part touches the rack or pan, so I suspend parts from a rack by wire.
