Don't panic, I'm not talking about getting a rattle can of paint to give a best english side lock that Mad Max look.
I have just got a Mossberg 500 and the reciever is gloss black with a few scuffs and chips here and there. Firstly does anyone know what that finish is (paint, blued or something else) and what would be a hard wearing finish that would give a satin or matt look and can it be done at home or cheaply. I've seen dura-coat on shows like American Gun but dont have access to an air brush.
Just bear in mind This is an old pump gun that cost me £110 so I dont want to throw loads of cash at it when a new one can be bought for less than £400.
cheers
