    Matt black etching paint (or semi / or gloss) give a reasonable finish. Especially if you dont want heirloom finish. A decent coat of paint does wonders for rust prevention too...just can be a bit naff looking if you do it wrong. One of mine has been painted rather than reblued. Went one step further and put a gloss varnish on top...looks like new now......
