Anyone here into firearms?

DuraCoat might be an option. Little more complex to apply than regular spray paint but very much an easier DIY option when compared to re-bluing. DuraCoat sells DIY kits and there are plenty of tutorials videos on how to apply it. They also sell a coating called DuraBlue that is a spray on coating that replicates blueing.

Interesting. Thanks for the lead.

Edit: They also offer DuraDize™ which is supposed to look like anodizing (for the receiver). Not sure my buddy will want to spend $100 to refinish his shotgun ($50 for the DuraCoat and $50 for the DuraDize). I may buy the stuff just to see how well it works. If I pay, I may have to order it in pink.

Almost forgot about Birchwood Casey Perma Blue. Definitely a little more involved than DuraCoat but it is much cheaper and is currently on sale on Amazon.

While doing some research, I ran across B-C's Super Blue. According to what I've read, it can be used to do touchups, is very easy to apply, is readily available (Walmart, etc), and cheap (about $10). Unless I run across something that sounds better, I think this is the way we will go.

The DuraCoat would probably a superior coating but the price is awfully high for an inexpensive "utility" gun (no collector/sentimental value).
