Depends on the finish, IIRC. I *think* you'd be GTG just scuffing with 400.
What's it say on the can?

DuraCoat and sandblasting
I'm in the process of Tacticooling two rifles! I'm rebuilding a 10/22 and an SKS that I've bought from LIF members! I am going to DuraCoat them both! I was wondering do I need to sandblast for the finish to look good? If I do, where can I take them to be blasted???? HELP...PLEASE....

I glass bead all my guns when i paint them. I find the finish to look better. Where to have it done? A friend with a cabinet....or buy one.
Depends on the finish. I know Duracoat does not recommend bead blasting parkerized finishes. Are these blued?
Here's what I did when I Duracoated my 10/22:

Yes they are both blued.
Did you consider parkerizing them?
You are welcome to use my glass beadingh cabinet if we can coord schedules, a red Scotch-Brite wheel chucked into a drill will suffice also. then CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN with TSP substitute or Acetone or Lacquer thinner.
Thanks Captain, that's very generous! I think I'll try the scotch brite wheel and see how that goes first! If I can't figure that out, I'll drop you a line for cabinet usage! Thanks everyone for your input.
You wont even need to scuff it. Just make sure theres NO oil on anything

Can't speak for GunKote, but I know that Duracoat adheres excellently to parkerized finishes.
