Yeah I know it looks much brighter and more gloss than it is but its probably cause of the flash. In hands, it looks like beach sand.

You can't buy it in Canada. Hell, there's only a handful of certified DuraCoat Tech's in our great country (four I believe).

However, as I've linked in the past (including this thread), you can import it, legally, from Lauer Custom Weaponry.

You don't -have- to bake it. You can let it sit for 24 hours and it achieves the same result.

The only problem is, once it's painted, any parts that are painted cannot be reassembled for 24 hours, even if baked. AND on top of that, you can't use the piece for 3 weeks. That's how long the paint takes to cure. Using it before then could damage the paint and cause a loss of surface integrity resulting in flaking.

It's real pro-level paint. Testors works fine for airsoft. But if you want an epic paint job, DuraCoat!
