Suppressor Paint - Krylon Heat?

[Burt Gummer]

I know suppressors don't really get that hot with just small arms. Mine have seen better days. An element suppressor - 22lr I was gently cleaner with a mild solvent and half the paint came off. Reminds me of a Jag I used to own. AAC uses really GOOD paint on their higher end ones.

Painting a suppressor shouldn't be a problem as long as the info/serial numbers are still visible, or so I guess.

Probably a paint people used for muzzle breaks, etc, would be fine.

This one looks decent -- will probably try ACE Hardware first -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NPJXYX3/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

BBQ paint maybe?

KBS-Coatings is a rust treatment company, similar to POR-15, but they make really good hi-temp coatings, even clear.

High temp cerakote is air dry. You don't need to bake it.

I just rattle can black and when it looks crappy spray it again.....

I have been told by suppressor manufacturers not to Cerakote them as it can reduce the heat dissipation. Just a thought...

"Cerakote Heat Dissipating Coatings are a line of submicron coatings with industry leading thermal conductivity. Typical uses include but are not limited to radiators, engine blocks, transmission cases, heat syncs, intercoolers and anywhere heat dissipation is needed."

Good info; thanks!

I had my 22LR can Cerakoted and it's been fine.

I had the inside of mine done in white so I know when it is more or less clean.

Thanks for all the tips guys. It is mostly just a non-essential project, but after the hell I had to go through I'd let them to look nice. It is however expected that any firearm or accessory that isn't a safe queen is going to get scraped up.
