    I have an old Bushmaster lower that is turning that red color. I would like to refinish it, so I'm seaching for the black that would match my Noveske N4 upper the best. Any opinions on which black would match best?

    The Norrells SOCOM black would be a good match for most of the current receiver finishes. Its a very flat black, but part of that depends on application method.

    Stick, I have a question,
    Can I recoat and/or apply different colors of molly once I have baked for an hour.

    As you mentioned how you paint the parts, reassemble, paint again, then bake. Can I paint everything again after I bake once? I guess thats what I'm asking.

    Thanks,

    What are the chances of getting some additional photos of that awesome FDE shot gun I have seen glimpses of.. Remington?

    Nice!

    There are no problems recoating after curing, what you mention should turn out fine. Just make sure you aren't getting any finger oils or anything else on it between coats.

    Thats not my shotgun, though it is pretty slick. I'm not sure what the owner coated it with, I believe it was one of the Brownells spray can coatings, but I could be wrong, and I'm not sure which one he might have used. I'll check and post the info if I remember.

    Thanks for the helpful info. And thanks for the wright-up. That was a big help.

    Glad you liked it. At one point, there was a guide to refinishing 1911s, as well as a guide to refinishing 870s also. They were on a board that went away, and I didn't have copies of the writeups.

    Stick,

    I realize you've probably already considered this, but just in case you aren't aware of it, did you give The Wayback Machine a try? Seems like a long shot when we're talking about a defunct forum, but it might be worth a quick recon to confirm that.

    I wouldn't bead blast anything, it creates a slick surface, I would sand/ aluminum oxide blast. The Norrells website gives good info on which grades and PSI to use.



    AC- I've got to remember where it was, its worth a check.

    Well my first paint job is complete, well until I refinish the scope again. I'm not too happy with the Norrell's air dry paint. It hasn't adhered to my Leupold scope very well at all. This thing was CLEAN. I chose not to blast in the event that the paint adhesion sucked, so at least there would be a black base, well with this airdry I'm back to the black stock finish real quick.

    And unless I chose the wrong color, it doesn't match at all to the tan heat dry applied to the rest of the rifle.

    Has anyone had better luck with airdry?

    I have not used the air dry version at all, so I'm not going to be much help. Can you strip it back off, or is it too late for that?
