Stainless Blackening Kit/Cold Anodizing/Parkerizing

[dogbaloo New User Find all posts View Profile Close dogbaloo]

I'm very sorry for posting what is surely a newbie question or one that may have been answered.

I'm interested in trying something a little different on my stainless steel firearm...blackening or anodizing in lieu of teflon or powdercoating. There is a kit here, and I'm very excited to try it...if it will do the trick. Does it work? Is it durable? Are these horribly silly questions?

Thanks for your patience!

Re: Stainless Blackening Kit/Cold Anodizing/Parkerizing

I operate a firearms refinishing shop and we have done many stainless weapons. You can have the firearm blued if you do not like the stainless look. It will require the services of a professional shop as I do not know of any cold bluing process that will do stainless.
