Thread: Home ‘bluing’

I ended up using CRC Black Zinc, I masked the breech end up to the front of the rear sight mount as it was sort of OK.

The rest of the barrel had been roughly sanded as mentioned and I sanded it to a brushed appearance so as it was bare metal I decided to use the above paint.

Sprayed it during a hot time of day and warmed the can and barrel first.

It turned out a nice even matte finish that doesn’t look out of place.

How long it will last remains to be seen…
