DuraBlue® is a revolutionary new coating that was formulated out of DuraCoat®, but is a specialized coating all on its own. DuraBlue® uses the same Hardener as DuraCoat® and retains the same durability as DuraCoat®, but it replicates the look of traditional bluing.

DuraBlue® is able to replicate this look because a person can see through the coating, but not all the way through to the underlying surface. This transparent effect gives it the depth needed to successfully replicate bluing. In order to fully achieve this effect though, the actual spray application process is slightly different than DuraCoat®.

Blasting the surface is not required although it will help to improve adhesion of the coating. A blasted surface will not affect the appearance of the DuraBlue® since it hides whatever surface you are coating.

DuraFil™ is used to fill pits, scratches, and dings before coating with DuraBlue® or DuraCoat®. Since DuraBlue® hides the surface you are coating, the DuraFil™ will not be seen once it has been coated over. This fact enables endless gun restoration possibilities.

If a blemish occurs on the surface of the DuraBlue®, the blemish can be touched-up but the entire surface of the part will need to be recoated with DuraBlue® in order to blend the touch-up in with the rest of the surface. This prevents the touch-up from being noticeable.

No, DuraBlue® will not blend into the current bluing on a firearm and the touch-up will be noticeable. The entire surface of the part would need to be recoated in DuraBlue® in order to be effective. DuraBlue® is a bluing replacement that utilizes modern technology to replicate the look of traditional bluing while also possessing the same durability that our DuraCoat® products are known for.

In the case of firearm finishes, a common misconception is "harder is better". This is faulty "old school thinking". Hardness means brittle and brittle means chipping. DuraBlue®, being elastic, should not chip. If your DuraBlue® chips, it means you have a preparation problem. Most likely, the surface was not clean. Elasticity provides protection by "giving" when confronted with impact. Elasticity also helps prevent scratches and mars.
