some brake cleaners leave a residue. I use denatured alcohol for the wipe downs I do. Krylon makes a matte clear if you blacks are too glossy. I'd check the paint can...65 might be OK if the humidity is low.

Yep. Shoot the whole thing when done with the flat clear. It is a chore to find the matte clear though.some brake cleaners leave a residue. I use denatured alcohol for the wipe downs I do.

Where do you get it? The barrel has "ridges" might be a chf barrel. It's very important that it dosent damage the factory finish on the barrel, sort of collectable. Tks@Rebel_Rider1969 I used Xylene to strip the .308 barrel I did recently. It is a slower drying solvent that Mineral Spirits so you get a longer working time.
You can get xylene at any paint store and probably lowes or Home Depot. It’s not very “aggressive” compared to lacquer thinner or acetone so not sure if it will help you or notWhere do you get it?

I have used VHT high heat black on a couple of guns works great and inexpensive. You can always just redo it when it gets scratched up.Topic may be beaten to death but I’ve aquired an old H&R Topper single barrel 410 shotgun, there’s absolutely no bluing left on the barrel. Planning on just spray painting it black, looking at using Rustoleum High Temp grill paint, not going the Durocoat route, costs too much. Opinions ? Keeping project on a budget…

I don't know if I'd go with the paint...Cold bluing has work great for me on numerous occasions. Kept repeating the process until I got the desired color.Topic may be beaten to death but I’ve aquired an old H&R Topper single barrel 410 shotgun, there’s absolutely no bluing left on the barrel.
