Title: Polishing stock parts
Post by: chinaboy on December 20, 2013, 05:52:02 PM
I'm deciding on my next build and was wondering how I could get my stock crosman tube, barrel, breech, grip frame to shine with the black finish.   Should I just use a dremmel with a polishing tip?

Where does one find duracoat?  Lowes?  And do I need to bake the peaces with this stuff?  Do I still need to polish? ???

How about rubbing down the gun with Remoil or something like that. That's what I do.

What would I have to do to polish them to be silver?  :P is thatpossible on the trigger grip frames? Do I need fancy/expensive tools or can it be done with steel wool and some wax or something similar? Help I noob!

Just polish the blueing off the barrel and tube, you dont really need fancy tools but it would make life easier with a polisher. Use wet n dry paper in progressively fine grits.

Same applies to the grip frame, take the paint off with just good old fashioned elbow grease you will get it shiny. Just keep it polished or it will soon dullen.
