How do you change colour of a moderator ?

[LONG RANGE CAPT]

I have have an S5 and a S7 Ase Utra moderators both come in a brushed steel finish, but would like to get the colour changed to a mat black finish to suit the rifles the go on. (AE MK III - .308 & AWSM - .338)

Ideally I would like the finish to be the same as the mat black that appears on the Jet Z Compact.

What options are available ?


Kind Regards

Rob

Rob,

Not being a wind up merchant but call ASE Customer Service.

They are actually a defence Company that talks to all users.

They understand hunters.

matt black heat resistant paint?

A mate or mine runs a firm called Global Rifle and they do a coating called Black Shadow. He's in Leicestershire. Give them a call and say Simmo sent you

you could put a black neoprene cover over it.....

You wont be able to match the finish on the Jet Z, they have a parkerized finish which can only be applied to carbon steels, not stainless. I would speak to Julian Savory at JMS arms, he has his moderators coated in this country with a highly resilient black coating. I would not go near Global Rifle with a barge pole, their black shadow process is no diiferent to Julians, and he is a much better person to deal with than them, a quick google will show several instances of appalling customer service on their part, resulting in court action.

Paint, any of the above suggestions, I just sprayed mine green and put some clear lacquer on it. I did also try some shrink to fit plastic tube which works well but can go a bit baggy if the unit gets very hot!

Why not paint all.

I used Hammerite matt black bbq spray paint... works a treat.

I have a mat black spray that matches synthetic. see my camouflage thread for finish. Paint dry's perfectly flat and hard.

Haven't thought of that. should be good.

I've sprayed mods with Duracoat before and cured in an oven. Good preparation is vital.

I normally just use cammo tape, easy to apply, doesn't scratch the bonnet when the rifle gets thrown up and less
noise when one hits soemthing.

Sent them to Julian at JMS - and must say brilliant service and the finish is great.

I use Cerakote and Duracoat, tried and trusted products, ive tried most others in the 5 years ive been doing this and these stand out by far as the best there is. I have coated 100s of moderators and accessories not had any issues, one thing to remember here is both products are solvent and oil resistant and both were designed for firearm application.

Glad you like it, I have had several rifles done in this finish and it is very very good.
