the fact that the inside is still in the white is proof that the exterior finish was Rust Blued...
This is a tedious process, but with the correct chemicals, and the proper metal preparaton the results are worth the work... Just look at any of Thor's restorations to see a master at work.
His chemical processes are his trade secret, but if you do some research, you should be able to come up with an appropriate Rust Blue chemical formula that will give excellent results.
Brownells, Inc. probably sells rust blue chemicals...
You should post "before" photos now and then "after" photos so other neophytes can see the steps in the process... just my suggestion.
Good Luck.
