Types Of Metal Finishing

Ron's Gun Shop has been a leader in firearm rebluing and restoration for decades. We offer Hot Bluing, Rust Bluing, and Cerakoting for all firearms both new and old, vintage and modern alike. Providing factory style refinishing/rebluing or "as perfect" restorations for your firearms.

This is just a small list of some of our more popular finishes.

Hot bluing. The go-to standard for over a century. Hot bluing is one of the best traditional metal finishes for almost any type of bluing requirements.

The appearance can be altered to facilitate almost any kind of "look" one would like to achieve. By altering the degree and grade polishing both surface reflection and color can be manipulated to however one wants. From glass like shiny black, to a nice "bluish" color & polish , to a soft satin black. It's all possible.

Rust bluing. This finish is a favorite that has been with us even longer than hot blue finishing. Rust bluing or slow rust bluing as it is often called is almost always a more durable finish in terms of wear compared to hot blue. It has been the standard for all double gun barrels and anything that has soft soldered ribs.

Parkerizing. A popular finish for most firearms around the WWII period. A very durable and utilitarian finish which looks nice on both classic and new firearms.

Cerakoting. The new finishes seem to really divide the camps on what looks good on firearms. After all, there is the whole tradition "thing". But, when one wants to get technical about this, there's just no denying how good this metal finish is. In terms of wear and corrosion resistance it is superior to most other finishes, and the choice of color is endless. There are many applications where the old and new compliment each other very well. Especially where alloys are used, Cerakote is the perfect compliment to a great bluing job. They really do work well together.
