Top-Gun Enterprises, Inc.
Top-Gun enterprises Inc. is in the business of supplying and applying a Polymer Coating and Powder Coating to Firearms, Automotive and Marine industry to protect against rust and corrosion.

In the Gulf States there is a need and desire for many gun owners to have an additional protective coating applied to the different guns that are used on a regular and not so regular bases.

Because of the adverse conditions that are present around the swamp and marsh lands that are regularly visited by these hunters and outdoor sportsman Top-Gun Enterprises developed a process and a coating that can be applied to many different types of guns for added protection.

Last year they approached the top oil manufacturers for the gun industry to provide them with samples of their gun lubricants for testing purposes.

Testing Procedures
12 samples of black carbide steel were first sand blasted and the individual lubricant manufacturers name was etched into the test cylinders for clear identification. After this they were cleaned with a strong cleaner/degreaser and hooks were then applied to test cylinders. They were then wiped down with alcohol and cleaned again with MEK as a final cleaning stage.

Each of the 12 test cylinders were then coated with the manufacturers respective lubricants. After a 2 hour period had elapsed a second coating of the lubricant was re-applied to each test cylinder.

The cylinders were then allowed to drip dry and any excess product was plotted away using a fresh paper towel on each sample.

Each of the 12 cylinders was then suspended from a wooden dowel rod at approximately 3 inches apart.

They were then suspended from a pier off a break water wall on the coast of Alabama. These parts hung suspended for 48 hours above the incoming and out going tide where the moisture and condensation were directly exposed to the coated cylinders.

After 48 hours had elapsed, the cylinders were removed back to the warehouse where the parts were washed of with clear fresh warm water. This removed the salt water oxidation and exposed the freshly rinsed cylinders. They were allowed to dry indoors for 1 hour before pictures for our documentation were taken.
