[QUOTE="Honeybee, post: 934166, member: 3655"] The finish all depends on what you prefer. Color wise if you just want to keep it black then do a grain refined Parkerizing on it, it will be as original as you can get and it is a finish that is designed to soak up oil and takes a lot of abuse. Colors are a bit trickier. They scratch and mar much easier than a black finish. All of them do unless you take real good care of your gun which is not what you expect to have to do for an automatic weapon, that’s why the manufacturers don’t offer them. The paint I have had the best performance with is DuPont Master Tint in a single stage base. The paint has to be catalyzed and then sprayed on with an airbrush or spray gun and then I bake the finish in a home made gun oven at 140 F. for a half hour. An hour after it cools down it can be reassembled. Mike (Olyeller) can do a parkerize for you and he is closer to you than I am. [/QUOTE]
