For beginners easy Rust Bluing and perfect results.
I think if you are building your own kit and want to save money on the finish this is it.
So top cover is original Hot Blue and I wanted to see if I can match the dark finish with rust bluing at home my self and results ware amazing. Yes it did make me go hmmm maan it's not doing great for the first 5 coats but patience is a must and just keep going. 13 rounds and opaaa I got a dark black with hint of blue and glossy as hell and just beautiful finish and I would never have anyone do my bluing but me.
This is what I did to get this finish on my receiver. And what I used.
And remember Steel Wool has oil in it so it's important that you clean the part with alcohol after you use it. Maaan i wish I did the entire parts kit now lol it looks so good.
1. Polish with 320 sandpaper.
2. Put the parts in acetone and scrub it for 5 minutes.
3. Apply rust Blue solution and use hairdryer to dry it up.
4. Boil it for 5 minutes.
5. Get it out and use stell wool to clean it but lightly with not much pressure.
5. Clean the part with alcohol.
6. Repeat the process.
