I have used satin black Plastikote with good results.

Thanks for that info, Did you use any prima or any base coat

No - just rubbed down and degreased. I found by using the satin, I could wipe it with an oily (Ballistol) cloth and it produced a simikar sheen to a properly blued/blacked surface.

At around £8 for an aerosol that would do several guns, its worth a try. As with any spraying, it should be applied in several thin coats.

If its that rough that your willing to paint why not try hot blueing with heat and old engine oil plenty vids on tube showing excellent results.if he's likely to want rid soon think he'd struggle to get rid of a painted hw80 unless real real cheap would prob have more luck getting rid as it is now

Yes you could be right, He would not have payed much for it, The stock is ok, Does have some marks but no splits or anything and the trigger is working fine.

Normally I would agree, He would get his money back if he sold the stock and trigger plus there was scopes and a gun bag with it,

Hi, have you thought of rust bluing?Plenty advice on the net the whole process can be sped up by steaming using an old wall paper steamer and a piece of pipe,as I said plenty of info on the net,done a few old guns and they have turned out ok more black than blue but it's an easy process and rewarding(how are you Guy).
