You can view pics of the barrels at various stages of the rust blue process on my profile page. Couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Use the same product (usually clear lacquer) that you would use to protect case colors. If it is too shiny for your taste use a flattener to kill the shine. Oscar Gaddey preferred Behelins spray but Testor makes a clear lacquer used by model builders or you can use Tru Oil. If you use a brush on finish you will get the best results if you dilute the lacquer 15 to 1 with thinner and apply two or three coats.

A thin application (one or two coats) of Oxpho Blue will give a nice gray-blue color. If you use a cotton ball, a good mottled appearance will result from dabbing as opposed to wiping.

Great suggestions! I'll do a little research and see if I can find example pics of both.

No, it's not a plating technique but rather a chemical staining of the metal.
