billytheghillie Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I bought a Franchi Affinity about 3 weeks ago. It recently had a fight with a dry stone dyke and left a 4in scrape on barrel. Apart from reblacking the barrels is there any touch up products that will bring it back to new? Thanks.

Lloyd90 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Birchwood casey permablue paste, I touched up a few spots on a barrel of one of my guns and am happy with it. Don't expect the world tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have used both, the Birchwood Casey stuff is alright for small touch up jobs, BUT do NOT expect a "back to original finish". I would use the cold blue stuff as a stopgap but aim to get the barrel reblued at some stage. The Birchwood Casey 'pen' is really nothing more than a black touch up type paint pen. Again, it is a paint and I would not suggest you used it on a barrel. I have used it to good effect on my Beretta 303 auto, around the loading and ejection ports, but this area is on the action which is a sort of painted finish to start with. I used a Woodcock pin feather to apply it to the small scratches and was pleased with the end result. I have also used a permanent marker pen to hide scratches on some guns and again that worked quite well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Birchwood cold blue is **** in my opinion. The Philips cold blue is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I have heard that heating up the metal makes it work better not cherry red though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsbob Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Are these barrels not coated/painted rather than blacked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampire Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Have sprayed an air rifle with satin black from b&q,looked very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Satin black plastikote type stuff or rutoleum. Spray it into the cap and use a fine brush to fill the scratch. May take a few coats so warming the barrel first will help with faster drying. You could send it away to be cerakoted that would give a better finish than factory.
