Few pics of my first attempt at bluing. The Gun is a kokusai M19 (had to be), gold plating removed to show the chrome. I used Abbey Blu Gel and its taken some time to get to this stage, i soaked a cotton pad in the gel and applied it several times letting the gel dry between applying, it started to blue the gun but looked crap, so i left it for a week or more then applied the gell again. I have repeated the process many times to build up the blue and i think i am about there, once dried i sprayed with silicone spray to polish but will look at trying a gun oil see if that works better for some shine without removing the blue.
I might even apply more blue in a few weeks see if it deepens at all.

Looking good. Sometimes multiple coats lightly buffed with wire wool can help with uniformity, but don't apply the final oil coat until you have applied all of the bluing coats.
