Do it yourself "Touch up Bluing Kits" Is it Worth it?
I have a Ruger P94 that has a blued slide. When I purchased the gun, it had some holster wear. So I set out to find a touch up kit. I have since purchased a kit (by BlueWonder) at Warehouse Sports, but have not tried to use it. I am a little worried about the finished product and weather or not it will do more harm then good. Have any of our members used these kits with great success, and do you have any advice on the process to make sure its successful. I am curious about the other finishes you can do yourself, ceramics, KG Gun Kote, etc. Do they effect the value of the firearm positively or negatively. I'd like to protect the metal, but I'd also like to protect the value of the firearm. Any help or advice on this subject would be great.
Thanks,
Warthog
