southwest1984 Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Hi, My friend has got a shotgun which is quite old and had a few Marks on the barrels. We were looking online and came across this: https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Metal-Finishing/Presto%C2%AE-Gun-Blue-Touch-Up-Pen.aspx Or http://www.bisley-uk.com/products.php?c=215 Anyone had any experience with anything like this?

team tractor Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I did a cold blue job on my Brno and I'm happy enough with it. It's not the same as new stuff /original bluing but it is a £100 gun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwest1984 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 What stuff did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just so happens I've oiled the stock tonight so took pics. I blued this almost 2 years ago. Birchwood casey full kit You have to be quick and keep to the exact instructions. I don't think the durability is there but I've still go the rest of the kit after doing 2 guns and the trigger guards etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have used the G96 product in liquid form and it's good leaves a nice rich finish. Have only tried it on small parts though like trigger guards and the top lever of a shotgun. Need to do my barrels as well so may try it on this. Just make sure you degrease really well, I used acetone and meths and heated the metal with a hot air gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Cold blue's are not very durable and will wear very quickly on handling and using gun slips . Lacquering after applying the cold blue will help and give added protection . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
