Aluma-Hyde II delivers a hard-curing epoxy finish engineered for shooters who handle their own refinishing work. This 12 oz aerosol applies directly to aluminum, steel, and synthetic surfaces without requiring a separate primer coat. The semi-gloss black formula contains high-density pigment that produces consistent coverage across frames, receivers, and stocks. For builders working on custom rifles or restoring worn handguns, this finish provides professional-grade protection in a DIY-friendly format. Made in the U.S.A., the formula resists bore cleaners, solvents, and trichloroethylene after full cure.
The epoxy base sets this coating apart from standard spray paints. Aluma-Hyde II becomes dry to the touch in 10-15 minutes and reaches full solvent-proof cure in approximately one week. Application works best between 70°F and 90°F, with the can held 12-15 inches from the surface. Additional coats can be applied within 30 minutes of the first pass, and the manufacturer recommends waiting 24 hours before extensive handling. Once cured, the finish resists abrasion and provides rustproof protection across properly prepared metal and polymer substrates. The formula bonds particularly well to synthetic stocks, making it a practical option for upgrading factory furniture on modern sporting rifles and shotguns stored in your safe.
This finish suits home gunsmiths tackling restoration projects, AR builders wanting uniform receiver sets, or anyone refreshing a hunting rifle before the season. The semi-gloss sheen splits the difference between flat tactical coatings and high-gloss show finishes. Keep in mind the semi-gloss appearance may read shinier than expected under direct light. Pair your refinishing project with proper cleaning equipment and surface prep for maximum adhesion. We stock Aluma-Hyde II alongside other finishing supplies and protective coatings for complete project builds.
No primer is required. Aluma-Hyde II bonds directly to properly prepared aluminum, steel, and synthetic surfaces. Clean the surface thoroughly and ensure it is free of oil, grease, and old finish before application for best adhesion.
The finish dries to the touch within 10-15 minutes. However, full solvent-proof cure takes approximately one week. Avoid extensive handling for at least 24 hours and keep the finished item away from harsh solvents during the curing period.
Yes, after full cure the epoxy finish resists bore cleaners, standard gun solvents, and even trichloroethylene. The key is allowing the complete one-week cure time before exposing the finish to aggressive cleaning chemicals.
Yes, additional coats should be applied within 30 minutes of the previous coat for proper bonding. Apply thin, even passes from 12-15 inches away rather than heavy single coats to avoid runs and ensure uniform coverage.
The formula adheres to aluminum, alloy surfaces, steel, and most plastics including synthetic stocks. It works well on receivers, frames, and polymer furniture. Proper surface preparation is essential for maximum durability.
