I have a "not so quality pistol" that I have done a good bit of the prep work in regards to finishing the frame (320girt/400grit) but still see several areas that seem to be stained from the old bluing and no amount of solvent or sanding seems to remove them. Question, while the spots are clean and smooth (per my beginning standards) will the hot blue finish actually coat them so it appears to be an even finish or will they show through blotchy?
I had a far better shop when I was 12 years old (divorce sales ruined me) so I am using a friends shop near my house. Any advise you can pass on without a pic (I can post if needed). The firearm is not a high end piece by any measure but my father gave it to me as an 11/12 year old so I am trying to get it as close to normal as possible before showing him. (Iver Johnson Mod55 Target). What say you sir?
