Aluma-Hyde II in matte clear is a spray-on epoxy firearm finish built for shooters and home gunsmiths who want lasting protection without sending parts out for coating. This 12 oz aerosol lays down a hard-curing, abrasion-resistant film that sticks to properly prepared aluminum, alloy, steel, and synthetic surfaces. The clear matte version preserves the existing look of a part while adding a protective layer, which makes it a common choice for sealing engraving, refreshing receivers, or finishing parts you've already cleaned and degreased on your bench. No primer coat is needed before application.
The formula uses a hard-curing epoxy base loaded with high-density pigment, which is what gives the finish its resistance to bore cleaners, solvents, and trichloroethylene. That chemical resistance matters on firearms that see regular contact with aggressive cleaners. The finish dries to the touch in minutes, with full cure reaching its rated durability in roughly one week. The 12 oz can carries a net weight of about 340 grams and ships with a clean-out nozzle that helps prevent clogging between uses. Surface prep is the main variable: a thorough degrease with a dedicated solvent or degreaser before spraying is what separates a finish that holds from one that lifts. Multi-surface adhesion lets you treat metal and polymer parts from the same can.
Reach for Aluma-Hyde II when you want a durable, rustproof clear coat on a receiver, a synthetic stock, or small parts that need protection but not a color change. It pairs well with refinishing work, so most shooters keep it alongside their bluing chemicals and stock work finishes for full restoration projects. Allow the full cure window before heavy handling or reassembly.

No. The epoxy-based formula bonds directly to properly prepared surfaces without a primer coat. The key step is surface prep: degrease the part thoroughly and let it dry before spraying. Clean, oil-free metal or polymer gives the finish the bite it needs to hold.
It dries to the touch within minutes, but full cure takes roughly one week. The finish reaches its rated abrasion and chemical resistance only after that window, so avoid heavy handling, reassembly, or cleaning the coated part until the full cure period has passed.
It sticks to properly prepared aluminum and alloy surfaces, steel, plastics, and synthetic stocks. That multi-surface capability lets you coat both metal receivers and polymer furniture from the same can, which is useful on builds that mix material types.
Yes. The high-density pigment in the epoxy base gives the cured finish increased resistance to bore cleaners, common solvents, and trichloroethylene. That resistance is why it's used on parts that see frequent contact with aggressive cleaning chemicals.
The matte clear finish adds a protective layer without changing the underlying color, so it preserves the existing appearance of engraving, bluing, or bare surfaces while sealing them against wear and rust.
