Muffler mods and then repainting, sorta
I modded the muffler on my 025 (waiting to do it on the 357XP) some time ago. Repainted it with flat black BBQ paint and was not satisfied with the results. Just too dull IMO. Used it that way for about six months and repainted with Rustoleum's new glossy high heat paint. That was a bust. Didn't want to cure to a hard finish.
Just got the MS260 today with, what else, a rusty muffler...
I don't care for the paint. Just doesn't look right. Has anyone, until now, thought of using a home blueing kit for guns? Puts a protective finish on the metal. I wonder how heat resistant it is. Shooter Solutions has a kit for about $20 bucks. Most of these kits can do like 5 or 6 guns. Might be something to look into. Here's the info:
