gonpce,
ditto, on mine as well.
might i recommend birchwood/casey "complete perma blue paste gun kit"
there are small quantities of cleaner-degreaser, blue & rust remover, plus the paste gun blue itself.
seems i remember reading someplace here that paste types were better than others but can't say exactly why.. i like them because you can layer it on, let it dry, then layer on a second and third coat so that the darkness will match your original.
also, it is recommended to use a degreaser that will remove *all* oils (finger print type and preservative types) to get the maximum bonding for the paste.
sadly, they aren't quite as good as the original and will eventually fade with daily contact, so don't be surprised when you have to do a refresh.
and lastly, someone here also advised me to use masking tape on areas near where ever you use files or screwdrivers and such.. seems we all get this knowledge the hard way and always after the fact.
could be worse....
good luck,
~d~ :hatsoff:
ps. with this kit, the fine steel wool, wet/dry sandpaper, sponge and dabbers are included.
