Can you blue a stainless pistol?

[prproulx]

I have a stainless S&W auto. I would like to spiff it up. Does blueing take over stainless?
Would hard chrome work?
Thanks

No but you can get blacken stainless, just look up "Caswell Plating".

So hard chrome is okay on stainless?

As long as it gets a copper plating first, but why not just polish up the SS?

I know sig 226's with the stainless slides are finished in black nitron finish... whatever that is lol. Its a matte finish though.

And the german SIGs are coated in Ifalon
