Until the item is fully, and completely covered. Be careful not to overdo the coverage or assembly issues could result in areas like pin holes and threaded areas.

I used to use this stuff in the ban era to refinish mags. Didn't need many coats but you have to cook it in an oven to make it work properly.

I redid my old 10-22 last winter and used 3-coats, all applied 20-minutes after the last.
I used a heat gun to keep the piece warm during the whole process, and it turned out very nice. ETA: Oven cure is not necessary, just air dry for a couple of weeks at room temp. |

I'm thinking that the rough bluing will provide a good surface to paint over (after a thorough degreasing) or should I lightly sand it first?

I've read that it's not needed but does help the cure process to bake it at a low temp (175 - 195) for 2 - 3 hours.
