Hi Guys
Yea, read that over at the PS
There is one guy called Michelle/comparobe that does the Cylinder in Alloy Metal apparently, he supposedly worked with Sarednab and Siderio that made the Sidkit blaster, not sure as its not steel. I think I will keep my eyes peeled a bit longer, maybe something pops up.
I sanded, steelwooled and blued the Finger Guard and the The Triggers mounted to the Frame, thought I would take it all apart but then I thought I try to do it like this and the result is not to bad in my opinion. I might redo them later on.
Finished with bluing yesterday and I think it came out ok...but it was a sort a strange ride

Starting with the Bluing I thought "this is sooo Fuk.ed" I remembered what
nusilver said about "rainbow colors" and simply did another layer and another and so on.

Finally it sorta started to look ok...but completely different then I expected, super Matt and almost dirty and gritty (pic is showing the Receiver still wet from Bluing Liquid).
Anyhow, I went over the finished piece gently with some 0000 Steelwool, blending and polishing the bluing and then slowly things started to happen!
This was the key moment for me, it started to look like it should, WOW!
As I have the complete kit from Birchwood it had some Barricade Rust Protection Wipes (basically paper wipes drenched in Weapon Oil) used that to wipe down all the blued parts (should sort a fixate the Bluing), as I said, I think it didn't come out to bad, that said I still have another bottle of Perma Blue and Barricade Rust Protection on the way and I might go back and touch some parts up later.

Still have to Polish the Metal Parts with some Renaissance Wax and I will get some Brasso for the Grips (thats a Metal polish, right?)
Cheers Guys.
