Bought some of the DE1635 today, the semi gloss. Man does it make them look pretty. 

Can we see some sample results? Maybe a before and after.

I run Magpul in my AKM exclusively.

That looks brand new. Looks like I need to pick up some paint and try it out. I have a couple of beat up pistol mags that might be goods candidates to start on.

That's zero prep, just spray on. If I cared more I would blast mine, prime, and paint but for a quick touch up I'm cool with that result.

I've found the best result with a dosing of brake cleaner as prep. Mainly to get any cosmoline cleared out as well as any loose gunk. A little wire brush around the feed lip welds and it's usually good to go. The parkerizing or coating that's left works pretty good as a primer. Plus the Duplicolor works well on just about any surface.

Again, it's an AK mag. You don't want it to look too good!

But what if I want my AK pretty like this?

Send it, and your man card, to me.

Lol. I bet that paint would burn off the barrel in no time.

I like blued steel and wood furniture most of the time. My man card is perfectly safe.

I'm kind of impressed by the fact that the table/dressor/mag mount has a matching crocheted cover. Somebody went all out to mix some weird stuff together!
