Hey thanks for the info, I did some research online about duracoat, seems like some pretty cool stuff. I might want to duracoat my Remington 870 now.

If you search around there are few tutorials on doing it yourself. Read up and give it a shot.

I Duracoated my XD45 as well as my Saiga-12. I am adding a coat of Matte finish clear to dull down the sheen to make the different colors blend better. If you want to repair that scratch, use 1000 grit sandpaper lightly to buff the area and touch up with same color and airbrush.
