silver shotgun barrels

[tony-devon]

greetings all

 

I tend to like things a little different and would like the barrels on my shotgun to be silver, so whats the options

 

the bluing on there is a little worn in places where the forend that was on it has rubbed

 

Im thinking duracoat?

 

for now some VHT silver paint will be tried, but what else have others tried?

I think spray painting a shotgun will just make it look horribly tacky.

 

If you're going to do it properly, why not get it dipped and a colour is electronically and properly administered to the gun. You could get a nice copper colour if you like.

 

All that money you'll spend on getting the shotgun converted to multichoke and you want to spray paint your barrels

didnt know how much it was to convert, and wont be doing it now,

 

theres a great place local to me that can black it, but really would like them a dull silver finish, the receiver is alloy, the old barrels were originally silver, its some sort of spray on titanium coating that fabarm use

 

will see what finishes duracoat can offer

 

spray paint wont look tacky if done properly, no one ever looked at one of my motorbikes in a customshow or magazine and said it looked tacky LOL

Silver barrels would scare every pigeon or crow for miles as tge flashed in the sun! Ok for clays I suppose?

Look for an old thread of mine "how did I get on glueing barrels" and you will see a method that will cost you next to nothing, but you need to protect them from rust somehow
