Here in the States you can get whats called Cold Blue. You just clean the part and wipe it on. I have had really good results with it. Any pictures?

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...

I wouldnt bother it false economy. All that cold blue is good for is the odd touch up on a screw.
Guarantee slap that stuff on in several coats it will come out like a patchwork quilt. Add to that it wont last 5 mins.

If you can do the finishing, the time consuming part, in long run it will be worth while taking it to a person that does blacking.
Such as this geeza the best in the biz but cheap http://www.isp-airrifles.com/index.htm

Hi KRV

It's not Chinese but rather, Spanish, I can just make out GAMO (El Gamo from spain), ASI(Anglo-Spanish Imports) used to be the importer and it looks like it may be an ASI Sniper...

Hi KRV,

I think that most of what we do can be classed the same way, costs more than replacement.  :lol:
