-Mongrel- Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a Hatsan Escort which is currently camo. It is however quite a well worn camo and lots of white plastic showing through so... I thought I'd like to repaint it! Plain black. Nothing expensive as the guns only worth 150 quid. Has anyone done so, what did you use, did it wear well? I'm thinking of Plasticote but have no experience with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I did my grandson's auto with Plastikote Stonecoat. Used their primer first, which made the top coat easy to apply. No reason the matt black wouldn't go straight over the primer. Edited December 16, 2013 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 He hasn't used it a lot, but I have handled quite a bit - so have a few friends. The Plastikote shows no sign of chipping, flaking or failing to adhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
