The OD looks great on the 500! Mossberg should sell that color from the factory.

Looks good!
I had the same idea over the past weekend and had the same OD kit in the shop. Originally for an AK I ended up using it on the 590 instead. Was easy to do and the cost wasn't bad either, I originally bought the kit at Midway on sale for like $45 I think.

Re: Painted the 500 with Duracoat....... check it out
thanks i thought of it last minute. on this mossy it was a machine finish on the bolt kinda shinny. if it was black i would of left it alone.
you can sand blast but be carefull of mossy upper reciever its made out of aluminum. i just scuffed it up a bit then degreased. you might be able to get away with using acetone or some 90% alchol for prep.
thanks for the comments and yes his green looks a bit darker than mine.
i used aug green and he used od green. my green seems like it has more grey in it. once i get a pov video you guys will see the color in the sun

Re: Painted the 500 with Duracoat....... check it out
My bolt has that chrome plate on the face of it and sort of a machined finish across the remainder of the bolt. In another thread the removal I believe called for Brake Fluid and Coke lol... Some research would be necessary for me.... I am scared as all get out when it comes to doing some heavy manipulation like that to my 500

Re: Painted the 500 with Duracoat....... check it out
Good work in both shotguns.I like it a lot.I also have found a dealer in Germany for the future.I´d like to see some gun with parkerized finish.
I have a blackpowder pistol with grey Cerakote but I never hear about Duracoat until read this post.
A little question.Is possible to read the serial number from barrel after aplying Duracoat paint?Here,this number must be visible for police inspections.

Re: Painted the 500 with Duracoat....... check it out
While duracoat will fill in very small engravings, it usually isn't a problem to read if the numbers are to atf specs.
I believe on some imported weapons that have importers marks engraved with a cheap hand tool instead of being stamped, then it can become an issue.

If you could, post some more pics and details over the color selection.
Nice Sneezer by the way!

Hope the OP doesn't mind, don't want to be hijacking his thread.
This is the exact kit I used, looks like there was a price drop or my memory is faulty, likely the latter.

The below images were taken today. Yes, we still have about 2 and a half feet of snow on the ground. In direct sunlight I guess you can see the OD green better. I'm quite happy with the way it came out.
Since I have a SOE Micro rig on the way I elected to not put a side saddle on though I did put a velcro ESSTAC 7 shot card on the stock. Between that, the 4 in the speedfeed, and the 9 in the gun I've got 20rds on the gun. Having the shell card on the outboard side of the stock doesn't jack up the balance I like. Also makes loading within the workspace from under just as quick for me.

Re: Painted the 500 with Duracoat....... check it out
As prepping is the key to any re-finishing, other steps can be added to prolong the "fresh" finish.
Such as when dealing with plastics. There are many kinds of plastic compositions. But the one thing that is common is the flexibility. Although flexibility is key with moving parts, it can b a hinder with adhesion issues. This falling back to prep step. If the type of plastic is unknown, you can side step the adhering landlmine with a promoter. This allowing the paint to plastic bond to increase wear.

A further step can also add to the everyday wear and tear on the finish. While not keeping it completely indestructible, a flex additive in paint and matte clear coat along with letting each coat of the desired finish to cure thoroughly will add longevity to your desired finish on plastics.
