I have a RIA 1911 that I picked up cheap - previous owner sanded and painted with rustoleum any way... I have decided to use oxpho blue to refinish it.
Question - will the bluing go over the Parkerizing or what ever the original finish RIA uses? I have removed all the paint but there is still some of the original finish.
I'm not looking to make it a show piece, just a decent cheap coating that won't come off when using solvents to clean it. Taking to get a professional job is not an option - no money! and no where within 50miles to get it done. Trying to do this myself for as little as possible.
