Refinishing Services   

---

  At DareingArms LLC we are happy to create a new finish for your firearm, or restore the factory colors with something far more durable than the standard bluing. We proudly use KG Industries gunkote. They are a Texas based company that provides all of our refinishing compounds and dry film lubricants. We have tested many products over the years and they, in our opinion, are the best around for protecting the metals on your firearms. We offer a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion. All types of plating or finishes will wear out over time. The coating is not a suit of armor, if you can scratch the metal the part is made of then the coating will scratch as well. It should stay on for the life of the firearm depending on use. There are no cleaners or bore solvents that should have any effect on the finish. However, if you find one we will be very interested in seeing it.

We will NOT use any of the following:
Cerakote, Duracoat, Spray Paint, Hydro Dipping or Bluing

We do not plate, parkerize, nitride or anodize parts in house for refinishing. If you would like this service we will send it out to another company. 

  We do not offer Hot bluing services, however we can recreate the color easily starting from a brighter blue all the way to a deep black. Most firearm parts can be coated. As long as the part can be heated to 200 degrees it can be coated.

  Our normal refinishing time frame can vary between a few business days to a few weeks depending on workload  Please Email us for current turn around times. A list of our standard colors and patterns is shown below. Pictures will be attached soon to give you a better idea. Please Email us for any other colors or patterns. Include any reference pictures and the KG industries color number (I.E. 2401, 2415, 2501, 2515)

*Parts that are heat sensitive, such as a Glock frame or a rifle scope, must use the KG-180 Additive to lower the curing temperature to 180 degrees F. This additive may cause a small difference in the shade of the finish if the other metals are done without the additive.

KG Gunkote Overview

---

The 2400 Series Gun-Kote is a true one-part bake on protective coating. Our one part system means no hardeners that have to be mixed into the coating.  Whatever is not used is simply poured back into the original can.  Its much easier to work with and there is no pot-life that needs to be considered.  There is no waste.

The 2400 Series provides excellent abrasion, chemical and impact resistance.  The coating is guaranteed not to Chip Flake, Peel or Rust Creep.  Most important the coating displays excellent coating layer to coating layer adhesion or a need to be concerned about how long the coating has been sitting before you have to use it.  There is no window for re-coating or repair work.

The 2400 Series has an average particle size less than 10 Microns.  Given the relative size of the particle means you can lay several colors down and have the final finish feel like one smooth color.

The 2400 Series is the backbone of our coating lines.  It is our most popular Series.  Some of the uses include:

• Exterior of weapons (including magazines)
• heavy artillery and bomb casings
• Engine blocks and headers to dissipate the heat
• Transmission cases and rear end housing to transfer heat from housings
• Radiators, oil and transmission coolers to dissipate heat
• Brake Calipers
• Outboard motors
• Motorcycle parts to include external motor parts
• Boats, cleats and other marine hardware
• Kitchen cabinet accessories.

The 2500 Series Metallic Gun Kote is the same formula as our 2400 series, but this is our metallic line.  This series has a more aesthetic look to it but does the same in chemical, impact, ware and corrosion protection.

Wood Stock/Forend Refinishing/Repair

---

We can repair and restore most wood stocks & forends. Depending on the repairs needed we may recommend a replacement rather than repairing the original. Wood refinishing quotes can be given upon inspection, as the level of refinishing/restoration needed may vary greatly from stock to stock.

Shipping Info

---

Firearms and parts may be shipped directly to us for repair/ refinishing since we are a licensed firearms manufacturer. You do not need to have a local firearms dealer ship for you unless you prefer it that way. Any firearms parts that include the serial numbered receiver, however; require us to return these to the original sender. When shipping firearms, parts or accessories please include instructions and color selection in the package along with name and return information. When firearms parts are being returned that include the serial numbered firearm receiver (frame), BATF requires that a signature is obtained from an adult at the location we ship to. Parts that we refinish other than the frame or receiver do not require a signature for delivery. When shipping parts other than the receiver or frame, you can opt of the signature requirement but we need your opt-out in writing in an e-mail. The signature also helps prevent UPS from denying a claim if a package is stolen off your porch. We return ship using UPS ground. In regard to insurance, please note that UPS insurance is $.85 per $100. of value. A $500 firearm will have only an insurance charge of $4.00 whereas a $10,000 machine gun will have an insurance charge of $80. When sending expensive firearms to us, please use these calculation to determine the insurance to add. Please state in your instructions the amount you want the firearm insured for when we return it. If no instructions for insurance are included in your package and you do not provide insurance funds, then your package will be insured for $100. You insuring your project for its replacement value is your responsibility and for your protection. UPS, Fed-X and USPS occasionally do lose packages.

Disclaimer

Here is a short list of items that we are unable to coat with KGgunkote

• Rubber parts
• Scopes (scope rings and non gas sealed parts can be coated)
• Plastics/Polymers unable to be heated to 200Degrees F
• Plastics/Polymers too thin to hold shape under 200 degree F heat
• Wood (we do offer wood refinishing using traditional methods, We will not use our coatings for wood)

On the matter of fiberglass rifle stocks or other composite style stocks.

While it is possible to refinish these stocks to a degree, it should be noted that the stock manufacturers do not recommend coating their stocks. That being said, all our finishes must be thermally cured. Heat causes expansion, and can in some cases lead to cracks in the outer shell of numerous composite stocks. There may also be small air bubbles trapped between layers, which could potentially lead to deformation in the outer shell of the stock. Stock curing temperatures do not exceed 175 degrees F However it is up to you, the customer. to decide if you want to have your composite stock coated. DareingArms LLC is not responsible for any damage to customer provided stocks and customers will sign a release if they still wish to have the work done on the composite stock.
