Charles Danner is the acknowledged expert when it comes to rust bluing. He had been in the business many years and many of the custom gunsmiths use his services. Do a Google search and you will find his website. I did rust bluing for many years when employed in Browning Arms Co. gunsmithing shop, while a relatively simple process there are a lot of tricks of the trade and the learning curve takes a while before turning out really nice work. Been there and done that, I now turn my work over to the pros who do this work every day. I gladly pay what they charge for the kind of work they turn out. Check with the American Custom Gunsmith's Guild, they maintain a list of members who specialize in rust bluing.
