Gotta ask a quick question.

Hey guys I'm at round #6 with this rust bluing and so far its just a dark gray no where near the bluish black I'm hoping for. I'm following the directions that Mark posted and is stickied to the letter and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

I put the solution on and it rusts up real good, I let it rust for 6 hours using a timer and then boil it off for 30 min again using a timer and card it off with 0000 steel wool washed in 100% acetone.

My question is does the rust bluing actually turn it the blue black color or does this happen when the gun is oiled and allowed to sit for 24 hours?

I've never done this before so I'm a little nervous about messing it up.
