I tried to copy your work in.re. cleaning and blueing but ended up with a bollixed Luger in bits. I am now going to spray paint it. What's the best colour for the gunmetal look? Tamiya whatever or Dulux emulsion?? Every paint I see calling itself gunmetal looks nothing like the previous 10 I looked at. HELP!!!!

Seek and ye shall find!! I went back through your posts and got it. I happened to choose Humbrol "Metalcote", part number 27004.

The problem is that I can't find it anywhere as a spray can. If I try to hand paint it I will end up with an abomination!!
