i take the utmost care in cleaning and prepping the parts i have sprayed with the brownells oven cure gun finish .. in matte black ..

i have my concerns .. the matte black isnt matte .. its a semi gloss .. no matter how you spray it .. it coats thick .. not compared to normal paint .. cause it coats THIN compared to normal paint .. but for what most people look for .. it coats thick ... i would advise AGIANST painting any ar15 aluminum parts .. anodize it .. or buy the aluminum version of the quick blue brownells offers .. if you want to touch up bright aluminum ..
also i sand blast all my stuff i have coated .. to give it the premium surface to adhere to .. and i prep after blasting to ensure clean adhesion .. it comes out ok .. but doesnt hold up well to scratches ... i would advise strongly to send out and park your metal parts .. or use NORRELs moly coat .. its MUCH thinner .. and is more like a FILM ..

good luck ..
