Brad I have not done it myself but have read that various products such as tung oil and perhaps certain spray on varnish products can be applied to the metal parts to protect the delicate colors from being removed by friction and the oils from your hands. Hopefully someone with some experience with this process will chime in.

Brad, Repo colors wear very quickly no matter what you do, so do what all of us have done and use the gun and enjoy it for what it was made for. The colors on these guns fade or are worn down very quickly so unless you don't want to use the gun and have it a safe queen just enjoy it they are great guns.....

Dean and I were talking about this today. I thought that once my Repros colors were gone that would be the time to strip the wood and put a nice oil finish on the gun.They could wear together and the gun would be about perfect...


I think I will just send it to Dave Fuller at that point.....
