KG Gun Kote or Brownells Gun-Kote
KG Gun Kote or Brownells Gun-Kote
Could someone tell me if their is a difference here. The KG Gun Kote is a spray on application (airbrush) but not in an aerosol can like the Brownells. Have read a lot of good reviews about the KG but is it as good as the Brownells?

Re: KG Gun Kote or Brownells Gun-Kote
Brownells just buys the paint for KG and puts it in a spray can. Same basic formulation. If you have a compressor / sirbrush, I think the bottled stuff is better as they have to tweak it a little to make it aerosol friendly. One comment I would make is that all their "blacks" are a little more glossy than advertised. Go with one step flatter than you would normally get.arrowshot wrote:Could someone tell me if their is a difference here.

Harbor Freight sells a workable kit for $10 if you have a compressor. If you need a compressor I think the airbrush ones are $30-$50.arrowshot wrote:I had planned just to start small on a pistol or two. Any recommendations for a good airbrush kit if I have to work on a limited budget?
I bought a nice Badger Airbrush off ebay for $40 or so because I figured one refinish job I did on my own would certainly pay for it.
Are you married? If so you may want to work on the baking portion of the plan as that can cause relationship problems.
Took the plunge and went ahead. Came out beautiful in my eyes with the spray can Gun-Kote from Brownells. A real quick venting of the kitchen and should be no evidence left. Can't say enough about all the videos that are available on the Brownell's web site. The link below explained the procedure for painiting well enough even for a novice like me. Thanks for the info Ron, I like my Phoenix better every day.

I know I'm pissing in the wind and don't bother to tell me how you've baked 14 guns in the family oven and so far everyone is healthy.
Just don't bake those chemicals in the family oven. You can go to the local flea market and buy a toaster oven big enough to do pistols for a couple of bucks and not have to risk having some nasty stuff baked into your next dinner.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785
Suggestion well taken. Did the one and don't intend to do any more.silverbulletexpress wrote:I know I'm pissing in the wind and don't bother to tell me how you've baked 14 guns in the family oven and so far everyone is healthy.
