Doitwithstyle Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi all I have done the route of diy blueing . Look amazing in the shade but in the sun light not so good . A weird browning tone . so going to paint them . do I need to use bbq paint . / high temp paint or will normal spray paint do ? I only paid £15 for it . So it will not affect the value . any help would be amazing . P.s if is heat paint . Does it only come in Matt ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynes Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 A chap I shoot with did his Lincoln. He had been stood under electric lines when it was raining whilst shooting. The water knackered the bluing on his cheapy Lincoln, and also the gun next to him who had a very nice churchill. Anyway he worked in the car mending and painting industry and gave his barrels to one of the lads in the workshop. You couldn't tell they were painted, even up close they looked superb.

Gunman Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Have done this , on an old hammer gun that was way past normal blacking, and used Duplicolour car spray paint . Point is even if it dosent last a long time it can be done again and if not happy can be taken off with thinners .Not the best job in the world and you dint have to look to close but did the job . I also did a couple of stainless rifles that were used by Islanders for shooting seals so they did not shine in sunlight . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fen tiger Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I painted an old browning automatic with flat black so far it has proved quite tough and as withstood regular use pigeon shooting and the like with very few Marks and chips. The paint was about £10 off eBay I just bought the one can and still have three quarters of it left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use primer or just the stove paint Just the stove on its own - I did two bolt action .410's about 3 years ago, and the paint is still intact.
