The teflon/moly finishes are really easy to apply, look super and are highly resistant to chemicals. However, they are not impervious to damage. They will scratch and wear about like a good blued finish will (maybe a *little* tougher) and once worn off a spot, that spot will rust just like any other un-coated spot. Also, they will not do anything, like Dave points out, to protect parts like the inside of the barrel that are next to impossible to get to with the spray. If you are leaving your gun wet, you are going to get rust whether you can see that rust or not.
