Hello everyone!
What kind of paint do you suggest for steel ar15 magazine. I don't have any equipement for spray paint so maybe the can can be a good choice but wich one? I don't want to put paint everywhere in my lower! Is it okay if i put paint on the rivet of my mag?

Thank you!
 
+1 for the Krylon. Probably the easiest and most readily available solution, which still provides great results. There's a few others you can use as well, but for what it costs for a can of Krylon at your local Walmart, you can't beat it.

Me personally, I'm not a fan of the whole clear coat thing...I prefer a matte finish. But hey, to each their own...

Good luck with your mags.

They make matte clear coat

Krylon for sure. Clear coat will smoothen and get shiny leaving portions looking glossy with regular hand/glove contact. Been there. Some cleaners and solvents will also eat the stuff.
 
I've been playing with high heat engine/automotive paints with ceramic content.
Paint, dry and bake 2 to 3 times with ever increasing heat to set the ceramic.
Seems to be working for me on my refinished sks magazine. The VHT flameproof is flat but I noticed the finish isn't really chemical resistant. I went with a matt finish engine enamel, not VHT, from Benson auto supply and it specifies it's chemical resistant.
Seems to be working on what I have used it on but can't recall the brand. Plasticote? Dupli-color? With ceramic
