I got a great deal on a SAR-2 AK that I converted to a correct Romanian AIMS-74. The seller had it duracoated. I am glad that it is duracoated as opposed to blueing. But I have had several of my guns coated with tuff-gun by shootiniron.com and that is a fantastic finish (just plain looks better than Duracoat.)

Anyway is there any cheap at home method I could use to turn this Duracoat into a little less glossy more matt finish so it is more authentic to the AIMS-74 (AK-74) ?
