So i would like to touch up some anodising on my now prohibited item in order to maximize the compensation I get from the confiscation circus
Has marks from being in a safe with other companions too close. Not bad but enough to take it from near new to used
What to use??
Felt tip pen?
does not match. was going to paint in flat matt blackQuote:

Fingernail paint?
Matt black Primer. Can get a spray can pretty cheap
camo tape.
I used some electricians tape round the buffer tube mounting that was scratched and left the scope mount on to cover some damage to the rail. Passed as new and the mount was paid for in situQuote:

I was in gun city dunedin looking for blueing compound, almost accidentally bought some other stuff they had for turning aluminium black, can't recall name but was about $20, someone will know what it is.
If you don't care about durability though, would think matte black humbrol paint tin the way to go - can always remove if not matching.
Match of colour / matte tone will be improved by smearing the entire gun in vaseline for long term storage, but make sure oil based paint is completely set first.
Main thing though is action working smoothly.
@Cordite I attended my second event this past weekend, and this time when you entered the building they put a chamber flag in as well as tape around the action. The assessor didn’t even open the actions. Inspection was far less thorough then the first event I went to.
Wattyl Super Etch primer works well in black.
I'm guessing @Cordite was talking about this stuff "Birchwood Casey Aluminium Black"

Any one tried it, I'm after somthing to cover up some ali, and give it the nice anodized look.
Yep that's the one, I see I did not remember the price too accurately, probably because I didn't buy it. No good for steel.Quote:

And one particular video with a before and after photo at the end. Seems better than paint.

I bought a couple of small tins of Humbrol or Tamiya paint ( Matt & Gloss black)and a very fine brush from a model shop and use them to touch up scratches on scopes and an anodised trigger guard. They worked well and you need to really look hard to notice it. Wipe a bit of oil over it and it looks a million $.
Ok if anodising not scratched thru to the a dozing (ie black to see silver) and just surface scuff crc and a scotch brite pad Do this On marked aluminium and anodozide window joinery done it on my now gone ar even worked on scratched up stainless. Rifle barrel. I soak the shit out of scotch. Britt then clean rag it
Mate!!! Have I the touch up pen for you!!!
Filled with empty promises and disappointment??Quote:
