GUN BLUE & BLACK KITS Reviews & Ratings

Two-part kits achieve a durable, beautiful, blue or black finish on complete guns or dinged-up areas on damaged ones without expensive equipment. Perfect for professionals who have only one or two guns to refinish and user-friendly enough for the home hobbyist. It’s great for touching up worn, rusted, nicked, or scratched factory bluing because it only sticks to the damaged areas, and leaves the good bluing unaffected. The “stop and start” feature allows you to go back and add coats of bluing before the developer sets, for a deeper, darker finish. The unique process does not use oxidation. Instead, it embeds micronized gold, silver, nickel, copper, and chromium onto the gun’s metal. Experiment for a variety of possible finishes. Gun Blue produces a color that matches many factory hot blue finishes. Gun Black produces a finish that’s a deep, dark black.

Will not work on stainless steel, aluminum, alloys.

Don`t hesitate to buy it!

The best cold gun blue/black I ever have used.I bought a S&W mod.14-5 for a couple of months ago where all old bluing was removed,so I was thinking about sending the gun to a gunsmith to have it blued again,when I saw Blue Wonder Gun Black here at Brownells,and desided to try it.As I not regret,because I saved a lot of money.This is without doubt the next best gun blue,after factory bluing.

Blue Wonder Black Kit

I used this kit on a Para frame. Did an excellent job. No hassle use. Kit should have a 4 oz. bottle of black though. Plenty of cleaner and developer. Have used for touch-up and had good results.
