The Super blue works well. I had a couple of scratches on a barrel. I removed all the old bluing to get a even bluing. I used alcohol & sand paper to clean the barrel down to bear metal. Followed the steps & repeated the bluing process 5 times until it matched the gun. buff to shine. wiped the barrel down w/ gun oil & it looked brand new. I used "Super blue" because it claims to be darker than Perma blue. It's been 3 mths & the bluing is holding up. Time will tell. It's NOT magic in a bottle ($10). So I doubt it will hold up as well as hot bluing or the OEM bluing. But for $10 & a little time, I'm very satisfied with the results.

Unless you keep your guns in a velvet box and never touch or move them, the bluing will wear through in places: where parts rub against each other; where the holster or scabbard contacts the gun; where one's hand rubs the surface of the gun. A collector gun with a nearly perfect original finish is only so when it hasn't been used much. The reason I like this product is that it is a stronger and faster working solution than most other liquid blues that I have tried. It takes the gun from looking well used to looking almost like new, and with about as much effort as polishing a shoe. There is no need to remove the old finish and entirely replace it, although a light touch with fine steel wool can help on occasion. Sure, I like a nice factory blue job, with its somewhat tougher oxide coating, or a parkerized finish, or whatever. However, if one takes a gun completely apart and puts it in a bath, and then reassembles it so that it is as beautiful as the day it was made, that would be a good time to put it in a velvet box and just leave it there. If you begin to use it again, guess what will happen? So, this is my shoe polish for guns. You wear shoes, they get scuffed, and then you make them pretty again. Rubbing on this Super Blue is a step I take, as needed, when I clean my guns. Really no fuss, no muss, and it quickly re-covers shiny, steely wear spots. Read full review

I purchased this to re-blue the barrel and of a SAR-1 AKM. It had gotten scraped and the shiny chrome alloy was showing in several spots. The Super Blue worked perfectly - I used a Q-Tip to apply it, washed it off after a few seconds when the color seemed to match, and now you can't tell it was ever dinged up. I then decided to try it on some of the sight and gas block edges and areas that were looking a bit thin and worn, with same results. Now everything matches with the original finish and looks great. It's really easy to use, and there is no need to heat the metal or anything like that. Just clean the surface really well with a de-greaser (denatured alcohol), apply it, wait a few seconds, and rinse in water... repeating as necessary for a darker finish. Since then I've also used it for a bunch of other things in places where I've had bad luck with galvanized not holding up for long - some screws under the sink, the brackets for an outdoor water fountain, and my mailbox. I'm hoping it will last longer, but even if not, it's kinda fun to do. Read full review

I have never did a reblueing on a firearm before and this product as far as I am concerned worked great. I rerblued my wife's 410 shotgun. I sanded it down to bare metal and the design on the metal part was well worn could hardly see it. It took three coats to get the desired look I wanted and the design on metal came back to life and is very easy to see now. I highly recommend this product and we will have to wait and see how long it lasts.

I was hesitant of a full gun gun Blue, but it came out good and I really am happy with the results. I had used the standard BW Casey gun blue in the past and it would be spotty and was hard to work with. But this Super Blue is the opposite. Very easy and dark blue.
