So I had this funky idea that I would blue my CZ 452 .22 LR Style. I spent £8.99 plus £2 postage on the bay of E for some BIRCHWOOD CASEY SUPER BLUE LIQUID. I also use some steel wool and no small amount of brake & clutch cleaner, nitrile gloves, cotton wads, safety goggles and a back-up bottle of red wine. I decided to experiment on an area that won't be too dire if it goes a bit wonky (namely the trigger guard). I follow the instructions (well the wire wool bit was a bit minimal) carefully. To cut a boring story short: it doesn't work!!!!!!! To be fair, there are no claims that it will work and it was completely on my own idea. It worked well on the guard screw I did, but the guard itself only darkened where it has been worn on the edges. Looks like the Krylon rattle cans are coming out again, which is a pity as I quite fancied having a blued Style. I have taken loads of photos, but there is not much point showing a nickel guard, before and after that look exactly the same, with a screw head that goes from off-white to black(ish). And just to forestall any such suggestions: I can't afford to have the nickel stripped. Bah Humbug!
