    Tried my hand at some cold blue!

    Well my buddy had an old air rifle with a rusted barrel, and i was bored today after class so i went and snagged some cold blue to see how this stuff works. Dont have pics before but it was really rusted, so i grabbed some emery cloth and went to town. I sanded it down to where i got most of the pits out but there were still some as you can see. Overall the blue came out pretty good, only time will tell how it holds up, and if its worthy to use on a nice rifle.




    Cleaned with 97% iso, then coated waited a minute, then washed with cold water, and lastly dried it off. Did those same steps 5 times.


    After the 5th coat it was time to give it it's shine, so i hit it with some oil, and it came to life. Top half is oiled, and the lower half is unoiled.


    Now for the final result


    A close up, used a cotton swab per directions but it streaked so bad i just used a microfiber towel and it came out decent.
Working...
