Alumablack Will Alumablack work on steel? I thought it was just for aluminum, which it works great on, by the way. |

You can't park a small spot anyway. You have to blast it all and start from scratch.
Here's what I'd do.... flat black paint... or.... who cares... leave it.

I bought birchwood pens and they don't work as well as Sharpies...save your $8 a pop and use a black Sharpie.

I never did blast that slide and redo.. if I knew how to add photo I could show it can be done.. just not recomended slide colors dont even match parkerizing, I could not get it black but I got nice dark grey. |

I have been using the birchwood blueing pens for years, they work great for small scratches on parked steels. Just make sure to remove any oil.

Interesting... the color issue must be why the barrel guys won't do a partial park. |

Great little tip, clean the area , slap it on , let dry and oil, doesn't react with the park and just darkens the bare steel. I've had good luck covering up some of my less than graceful moves.

Alumablack Which works really good on gray parkerizing! This is what I use for small spots, works great. There is also a product called Oxfo-Blue (Spelling might be off) that works great too... ETA: Dip a Q-tip in the solution (get it good and wet) and then hold the Q-tip on the sport for about 30 seconds to a minute. As you hold the Q-tip on the metal, it darkens. Repeat as nesessary. |

I'll see about taking a photo and posting it with photo-bucket, it will show what it looks like,, and how bad this slide was messed up,, I would be embarrassed to do that to a firearm..
1 more day of work then off till 01/04/2010.. will spend all my time building, and seeing about getting one of these http://grizzly.com/products/Gunsmith-s-Bench-Top-Lathe-with-Stand/G4003G its a really nice lathe, cost effective for me. retirement is coming up fast.. anytime after 02/06/2010 I will be able to retire. just have to go to office sign some papers and become senior citizen, I'm going to get me a straw hat and good cane. and go wild whenI retire to full time gunsmith hobby. Imay even heat my garage |
