Has anyone tried using Brownells Alumahyde II "Dark gray parkerizing" or Gunkote "Matte Gray" to match the finish on an East German AK?

I don't want to spend the money and time to have it re-parkerized.

I have heard that Alumahyde is moderately drubale and that Gunkote is insanely durable. I also like that alumahyde can be used with minimal preparation and comes in a sparycan in the gray (the Gunkote does not, only airbursh paint).

brownells has Guncote packaged for them in spray cans also. But get the dark grey park in the teflon/moly type bake-on it works real easy and is a nice dark black/grey. The Alumahyde sucks, goes on too thick for what you want. This stuff is great.

I noticed the Dark parkerizing gray was like mud. The other colors aren't bad-as long as it's heated

So all you do is just spray this stuff on?
