Hi,

I bought a beat up old Winchester Defender and decided to give it a paint job. I used Krylon primer and Olive Camo paint. The finish looks pretty good but lacks in durability. It chips like crazy.
So, I bought some Cerama-Coat bake-on paint since it's supposed to be pretty good.
I figure the Krylon should come off pretty easy with paint stripper.
I was thinking of trying brake cleaner as a degreaser this time, any thoughts on this. What would you use to degrease?
If anyone has used Cerama-Coat and has any tips to offer please share.

It's a shame the Krylon isn't too tough, I think looks quite attractive.

That green is the same shade as my Mum's plastic patio chairs.

It's olive drab, so your mom must have some milsurp patio chairs. :)

Acetone is what I used to degrease for this job. I was curious if there was something better out there. Guess I'll stick with it.

What are these older wood stocked Defenders worth nowadays....?

Before you peel the Krylon did you try clear coating it? It will make quite a difference to the chip resistance. No were near the bake on but better than no clear cote.

This one was a police trade-in, must be at least 25 years old. The stock that came on it was a very light colored wood, and very dirty. The stock you see in the pic was bought from a CGN member.
As for value, I've seen excellent condition blued/wood defenders going for $300-350.

Do you mean rubbing alcohol?

I considered clear coat, but figured I'd invest in a sure thing with the bake-on.

I'm curious what kind of fumes come off these paints when you bake them. I have a brand new oven and would hate to contaminate it in some way. Then again, this product is made for "home use", so if it was dangerous or anything they would not recommend using your home appliances, n'est pas?

I just recently finished my 870 in Krylon Olive Drab and Flat black. I used a matte clear to finish up. So far, it seems pretty durable, but I am letting it sit (fully cure) for a month or so before I handle it.

I used CLR to strip the blueing and acetone to degrease. Just before the primer coat, I used rubbing alcohol to make sure the metal was clean.

So far so good.

Krylon with 2-3 coats of matte clear coat has stood up for 2 years of hunting and still looks new. Give the clear coat 2 weeks or more to cure.

Good luck, Terry
