Tiller Member. I happened to have just read a kydex manufacturer website suggesting the sherwin Williams industrial paint Prolane. This is supposed to be the same as dura coat. K Robinson said:.

The cammo isnt quite right it was done free hand with no real planning and the colours Ive got arnt quite right the stencil is hand cut after printing my logo onto acetate the small triangle one I just cut the logo thru a business card neither is perfect but they proved a point that it works.

I took stencil frisket and cut my own shapes then painted in layers. I've had the gun out hunting multiple times since then, in rough areas and have had no paint scratches.

Just remembered I used some Rustoleum paint as well, it bonds quite well to plastics. BossDog KnifeDogs. It is made exactly for this kind of application and it's pretty durable stuff. As Grizzly stated above, prep is the key, if prepped properly you will have a very tough and durable finish.

Of course its not tough as nails and can scratch when hit hard enough but it looks great when done right. Good luck. Depending on what you are looking for you might be able to talk to the guys at B.

Custom Kydex and get them to make you what you are wanting. Gun is xdm 5. Well upon further research, the only blue kydex that is available is a dark blue.

I dont think that it would match the blue of the versa pouches from what Ive seen. Might try that. If you want the flat finish. A couple Light thin coast will do and make it stronger,.
