Patina???

01-09-2002, 12:23 AM

Can anyone help? I have a gun which the overall frame is about 80% brown patina and the toggle assembly is a nice dark blue - I figure the whole gun to be about 60% patina - once patina does that mean never blue again? It is a little dull and would like to brighten up or improve its sheen. Can this be done with 0000# steel wool without damaging and scratching or is my only recourse to lightly oil and rub with rag and hope for the best. Is there any blue under the brown patina?
