Brownell's rust blue

[Revolvr]

I've used Brownell's "Laurel Mountain Forge" on two handguns. Worked great. It has a degreaser in it that makes it easier for a beginner because it reduces the probability you'll end up with uneven or fingerprinted results.

Have not done a Luger yet, but I'm looking for a shooter to refinish later this year once it cools off (I live in Phoenix and do the refinishing in my garage).

Rust blue takes a lot of effort and time to do well but can turn out very fine. Attached is a photo of a Broomhandle I refinished recently.
