Don't look at this if you have a weak stomach

This reminds me of a Wingmaster 870 I have that had rusted and destroyed most of the bluing. I took the metal to the white and spray painted it with the only colors I had available. Okay, maybe not the only colors, but the brightest colors anyway.

I painted the reciever flourescent pink and the barrel flourescent lime green. I mostly just did it to protect it while I decided what else to do with it. It was comical and temporary, I just used some Rustoleum to cover it. One butt-ugly gun, to be sure...

I tried rebluing it with cold blues, with a fair degree of sucess I might add. But then I got a powdercoating gun and that was it. I wrote an article for American Gunsmith on how to powdercoat your guns and used the 870 - which had now become my primary bedroom gun - as the perfect example of what to coat. I used Silvervien epoxy powder and here's how it turned out.
