Refinishing polymer AR15 stock
I got a Magpul 93B stock that was originally FDE, but the previous owner painted black. The paint is wearing, I'm looking to repaint/refinish black, but this time, more "permanent". What are my options, both do-it-yourself or sending it out for someone to work on. Thanks for your input.

Re: Refinishing polymer AR15 stock
strip it (probably by light sanding) and re-finish with durocoat.
Or, one of my favorites, truck bed coating.

I agree lightly sand it or bead blast it and use Duracoat

Re: Refinishing polymer AR15 stock
Thank you both. I'll consider it. I haven't done Duracoating before so I'll have to figure that out.

Re: Refinishing polymer AR15 stock
Duracoating is pretty easy. IIRC You can get the instructions from their web site.
I also found this:

Non bake Cerakote is also an option.
