So, I'm planning on refinishing a couple of 20 rd preban mags I have. I'm trying to decide what the best way to go. I've used Duracoat before, and had decent results with it, but it was on a polymer gun stock, so that was kind of hard to screw up. However, metal is a different ballgame, and I'm especially worried about parts that interface with the inside of the rifle. I don't want to be picking paint flecks out of the barrel and receiver forever. Binding is also a concern.
I don't have access to blasting, or any prep work outside of what I can do with sandpaper.
I am open to the idea of bake-on finishes.
I'm leaning towards Duracoat or Alumahyde II finish. If anyone has experience with these, let me know how they stand up on a mag. I've also seen folks saying that the curing and durability of these finishes can be improved with baking; if so, how long and what temp?
Also looking at how well this would work, since I'm planning on just making it black anyway;

Also open to a finishing service I could send them out to if someone knows of a place that doesn't charge, say, more than $25/magazine.
Any input is appreciated!
