Title: Shotgun Coating
Post by: BiggMayn on November 29, 2010, 09:53:26 AM: I waterfowl hunt on saltwater quite a bit and no matter what I do, my Remington 870 Supermag has light surface rust after just a few hours. I'm trying to decide whether to Cerakote, Parkerize, or DuraCoat. It seems like Cerakote is almost twice the price of the others, but I really only want to do this once. What experiences have you all had? Thanks!

I like my rattle can version just fine. I degreased it really well, then primed it and let it dry a day or so, then went to town with the flat earth colors. When I scratch the paint, I see the primer and I know it's time to touch it up a little. I know what you mean about watching the 870 express rust. I am planning on doing my new 22-250 in duracoat to see if it's as durable as they say.
