For those that have the Krylon touch on a rifle, what prep do you make?

Strip the bluing or just get after it and spray and pray?

I have a rifle that is a good candidate with some serious wear on the bluing and am hesitant to get after it.

Also, post up some DIY jobs if you have any, please.

I would strip down as far as possible. Clean/de-grease all surfaces and then get after it. As will any paint job, it's all in the prep.

Plethora of YouTube videos out there as well.

Usually i just buff up the metal parts with some scotch-brite and then clean with acetone. You can also apply a matte clear coat that will help preserve the paint






That Benelli shotgun originally had a camo dip finish but some spots were wore down to bare metal before I got a hold of it
