Is it possible to blacken stainless steel?
I have a rem bolt body that is fluted and I’d like to blacken it, then buff off the body leaving the flutes blackened. Thanks.

I don't think Remington makes SS bolts.

The art supply houses have a blackening finish for stainless steel, applies just like cold blue. Even Rustoleum would work.

Re-read Butch Lambert's post. Rem bolts are two piece. The Handle is stainless, but the body (shaft) and lugs are chrome-moly. That's why the lugs are blued. Heat the bolt with wife's hairdryer and cold blue the flutes.

Brownell's sells a spray / bake-on finish called Cerama-Coat. Apply it to the entire bolt according to directions (3 light spray coats and bake in a 300 degree oven) then use a fine grit belt sander to expose the metal on the surface of the bolt.

Has anyone tried EPI SS-370 to blacken stainless barrels?
