Hey all,
Anybody have a formula for a homemade concoction for painting/coating the metal work on a gun. I have several older guns that are purely workhorses and will never, ever be pretty....but they are very functional. Most of these plebian guns have a lot of the blue gone, various conditions of some pitting, some rust damage.I tend to grab one of these workhorses when the weather turns nasty so I can protect my other "beauties"
Years ago I read an article where the author claimed that by using a flat black primer mixed with a thinner, applying seveal coats to the metal and then following with several coats of synthetic floor polish gave a lasting and very protective coating to their "barn gun".
Anybody else have some formulas of this kind.....or even an over-the-counter suggestion for such a coating. These guns I have in mind aren't worthy of a good old salts blue, but I want to protect them nonetheless.
