There is this all though I have not tried it...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDaTsfvW7Oo&ab_channel=Muzzle-Loaders.com
I've used Birchwood Casey Super Blue on wear spots and scratches on firearms and in some cases it produces good results. It probably depends on the alloy as to how it takes to the cold blue. I've used it on parkerized surfaces that have wear marks and it covers them up nicely to blend in.
I asked a guy I bought a gun from, 40 year gun smith as well. Here is his answer:
? I have beechwood casey in a tube, I use with a Q tip.
But I also have liquid that I like , which is a darker blue, Outers gun blue, found that in Canadian tire.
When I still had the shop, I had a commercial blueing that you use in a tank, all most like a milt. black.
If I remember ,I may have used the Outers , and blended it with super fine steel wool

I've used it on a deeply blued S&W revolver and it did not damage the existing finish. As above, I applied it with a q-tip, after degreasing the area with alcohol. It didn't make it blend in perfectly by turning it that really deep blue black that the rest of the revolver was, but it did change the color enough to make an improvement. The Birchwood Casey Super Blue did not in any way harm the rest of the finish.
