I've been Duracoating firearms for approximately 4 years. What the anti-gunners and their ilk won't point out is that Duracoat is not just a "brush on" product. It needs to be applied with and airbrush or HVLP sprayer & compressor (much like you'd see at an automotive shop use). Not only the application, but the preparation is a chore as well. Any grease or oil, the the paint will just rub off. Also, full cure time is nearly 4 weeks, parts can be reassembled in 24 hours however. Now antis - my question is this, at nearly $30 for 4oz, including shipping PLUS all the gear you need to apply it..don't you think the CRIMINALS would rather just go to Walmart and pick up a $4.00 can of KRYLON?????? Wake up morons, we "shooters" know you antis look for ANY reason to go after the OH SO EVIL FIREARM. Obviously Bloomberg never did his research before going after Lauer either. Your idiocy knows no bounds. A little late to the party, but I’ll put my two cents in. I’ve been Duracoating firearms for approximately 4 years.

If everyone started carrying real guns that look like toys, what are they supposed to think, that they are all toys? Or that nobody with a colored gun is a threat??? I like guns and believe that people have a right to own them, but this is just stupid. The lauer company is trying to make a quick buck, no matter what dangers they present.

Why do you NEED gun paint? to what purpose does it serve if 58% of gun owners use their gun for protection? ('the issue with guns' 1997) And if you are the 10% tat uses it for hunting...isnt the point NOT to be seen? (excluding the orange) I am not anti gun but I am not a gun enthausiast. this issue seems very childish and its pretty cute when our leaders and media pull out some junior high sh*t like this just becaue they are pouting and mad, WAAAH!!! no gun paint? call the WWWAmbulance lol real cute okay so is there a particular reason such an immature arguement is being discussed?

Yes, really I get fedup with other usual colors gun (black, blue, silver, gold, camouflage, carved, parkerized, etc. - I don't know why they make so many usual colors) what should be banned is anything that have a shape that resemblance of a gun, such as an airsoft, a toy gun, model gun etc. etc. By banning this toys, there will be no more mistaken identity -- and is easier to do than banning the real gun.

By the way did you get lost on the way to the Brady Campaign website? I think the guns look nice and it has been proven that most gun owners are law abiding citizens. Also do you know how unbelievably annoying it is not to play an airsoft war with your friend because his anti-gun mom keeps acting disappointed or worried when you fire little plastic pellets at each other. The guns are even clear! but I'm getting off topic here I think the guns would be good if you were defending yourself on the street, of course I don't know how it works in crazy NY but it really is just a joke I mean we all know Bloomberg hates guns and painting these guns and naming them after him is kind of an insult to him but it is still funny. By the way we aren't all stupid, just the ones who by guns just to rob or murder someone but those people aren't smart so they wouldn't even think of urban camo. Besides if all gun owners were like you anti-gun people say they are you probably wouldn't be alive to type your rant here. peace the kid has finally stopped talking to you :).

Please don't back down on the paint issue that Bloomberg is pressuring you with. As a retired police officer, and firearms instructor, I alway instructed that a firearm is any gun, toy or real, that is pointed at you. Guns have been painted to replicate toys in order to gain an advantage on police. Anything that resembles a firearm should be considered real and dealt with accordingly. Todays police officers should take in account that firearms come in a variety of colors and/or threats, so ALL POLICE OFFICERS should expect that anything pointed in their direction HAS TO BE CONSIDERED A THREAT! Their families are depending on their training and if their department is not training this, they should bring it to their attention to start doing thisfor their safety and others. You have to train to keep your edge in law enforcement. Lauer, good for you. Please don’t back down on the paint issue that Bloomberg is pressuring you with.
