From recommendations I have decided to go with Gunkote. I was thinking AK black. So do I call KG or go thru Brownells? Thanks for the help.

Brownells has the Guncote in liquid or spray can but do not have the AK Black yet (I don't think) unless they have just started carrying it. I hope they do.

I went straight to KG and used satin black,Didn't what a shiny finish. I love this stuff.Good luck and follow directions and concider all the wonderful info on this site.

Ditto - go straight to KG....

If in doubt about gloss levels? Email Joe Fazio He'll explain that, depending on which FORMULA you use, "Satin" may be way too shiney. For example - I use 1600F (technically FLAT black). But in the high Teflon product line? This comes out as a great general purpose Satin. 1600S (technically Satin) is far more of a gloss... perfect for Hungarians

+1 for Joe Fazio at KG.

Midway also carries an extensive line (various colors/shades) of KG products at similar prices....they also carry 4oz, 8oz and 16oz sizes in most of the popular colors.

thanks a ton !!


it must be cheaper there, than the $40 total shipped,that it cost me for one little spray can from brownells !!

well, I just called KG and talked to a super nice gal named debbie. Not to put down brownells(great company), because that little spray can is the way to go,for a one time jobber. but it is actually thinned,she said to about 30%,vs the original product they sell. she said it was done for the can's ability to be used.


I just ordered two pints of %100 product(sprayable,no thinning required) for $28 each,satin black and ak back. now, given I have an air compressor and a HVLP rig, I sure wish I would have did this the first time, because that little can cost me $40 for a 6 ounce can!(and it is thinned down too!,no wonder I had to use almost all of it up on one rifle)


thanks again,like usual guys :dance:
