Garand Gas Cylinder Refinishing

[muskydope]

I did one that looks and lasts pretty good; Brownells " Aluma Kote" in Park grey, and instead of the "second coat" within 30 minutes, I shot some high heat black paint ( you know, the header/grill paint) on it and let it sit a week, per instructions. Looks good, with some handling ( and some of the natual oils from your hands) it has that kind of dull, but lightly shiny appearance of the originals.
