I am about to start a refinishing business if/when the FFL clears. I plan to offer bluing, class II anodizing, parking and spray on/bake ons. I have been working with the bluing recipes from Blindhogg and Brownells. My question is this, does anyone know of a recipe for that gorgeous royal blue Colt used to use on the Pythons? I have always had a thing for those revolvers and I would really like to get close to it in color. The blues I have tried come out pretty dark when they get good surface penetration. Thanks, Rick |
Yeah, they were slicker than owl shit on a babies ass weren't they? I am just crazy to learn how they did it. I know the polishing effects the blues reflecection/refraction so that it either looks a little more blue or a little more blackened, but it still seems like the blue was more of a royal blue. Maybe I'm just getting old and I am remembering something that didn't exist. I dunno, I went to look at one yesterday and it was polished stainless, not blued.Rick |
Oh no, you are correct. It was called Royal Blue and it was so beautiful and deep it looked like you could spring off a diving board right into it! Sorry to say I don't know shit about how it was done but if you figure it out, please let me know!
