I've wasted time and duracoat before by not taking the appropriate measure to properly prep my surfaces before painting.
This stuff isn't cheap so take the time and do it right.
I generally give the parts a bath in lacquer thinner to degrease it or use the TruStrip Degreaser provided by Duracoat before either blasting them with aluminum oxide. Glass beads would also work.
After I do my coating I let it air dry a bit before putting it in the oven @ 180 for an hour.
