What? brownells steel white

Norels moly coat. You spray it on with an airbrush, cheap harbor freight kit will do, and then bake it in the oven. One coat is all it takes. goes on very smooth and covers well and very even while being super thin. Once cured it is indestructible. Norells has a $10,000 reward out for anyone who can find a solvent that will remove it - still unclaimed.

Thank you for the Norells lead, I've never heard of it; I've been using DuraCoat but found it doesn't hold up well to UV. So, I will give this a try! I looked on the web site and its a good price, doesn't say how much the 8oz will cover.

works great. You will want to scuff the surfaces you intend to blue.

Awesome.. I might give it a try on one of the .22 that are in my pile of needs help rifles. Will be interesting to see results.

However, I just noticed baker is prepping an aluminum receiver. I don't think either product will work at removing corrosion from aluminum, nor any anodizing - even if it says it won't attack aluminum, the chelating agent only reacts with iron oxide.

I wasn't going to use it on the aluminum receiver; I only mentioned the aluminum receiver because I was looking at paint products to refinish it. I just happened upon the Brownells Steel White while I was looking around and got curious. I can be like a fish and get distracted by shiny things. I fully intended to media blast the anodizing to get rid of it.
