Brownell's Dicrophan T4 is possibly the best cold blue for this purpose because not only is it more durable then most, it gives a really black color, not the usual blue.
The black color blends in with parkerizing better.

Use a good solvent like Acetone that leaves no residue, then spray dripping wet with 90% alcohol.
Dry with a hair dryer to warm the metal then apply.
Don't over-heat, it's not needed and tends not to work as well as hair dryer-warm.

Great.  I have tried G96 paste.  Seemed to work okay.  Oxy-blue not so good.

Oxpho Blue seems to be very steel dependent.  Soft steel takes it, but harder steel doesn't.  I don't like the product.
