Dura coat is fun but it isn't as durable as it might seem. I haven't tried ceracoat but I would like to give it a try. Making your own stencils and rocking the krylon is perfect for airballin.

they make a hardener and a finish coating so the paint will last longer

I have used those. The paint stays around longer than krylon but eventually it will get scratches and wear away.

Ganef, you can also get the krylon in liquid for airbrush, correct?

Not worth the hassle if it comes in a rattle can IMO.

Eh, if its delicate stenciling then an airbrush makes it pretty easy. That's what attracted me to duracoat..but the price is high.

Buying duracoat just for airsoft is pretty dumb, IMO. Krylon is GTG.
