Refinishing your shotgun with bedliner spray
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 7:55 pm
I'm sure most of ya'll saw this already on the Fuge but I like it so much I thought it needs to be added here.
Here is how you do it.
Disassemble your gun. You will need to clean all the rust and crud off of it. You can use sandpaper, steel wool or scotch brite pads. Scrub it down good. Clean all the crud off. I washed mine with hot soapy water then a hot rinse and dried it with a hair dryer. Then I degreased it well with copious amounts of acetone on an old cotton towel. Once degreased I masked off the areas I didn't want painted with masking tape and filled up the action with paper towels to keep from getting spray in there. I installed an extended choke tube and mased it off with tape all the way just up to the muzzle. The extended tube will give you something to hold onto as you paint it. I rigged up some wire hangers prior to painting and had them hanging and ready to roll when I started to paint. As far as applying the bedliner I just followed the instructions on the Duplicolor Bedliner can. I shook it up and sprayed the gun down in long sweeping passes. it went on really smoothly and it's thick nature stops it from running. I gave it a few minutes and went over it all again. The first coat was pretty smooth and the second coat was more textured. I let it dry over night and reassembled it. It looks really good and three days later the finish is rock hard. I think this is a winner. I think I'll even do my Beretta Pintail barrel like this.
