Faux ss finish

[Shooter1971]

Pics don't do it justice. Duplicolor ss over 60 grit blasted steel. Knocked it down with scotchbright then spray bombed. Was a pitted old 458 win mag bbl I converted to a smokeless muzzleloader. Very easy to get good results and hides defects well.

The completed rifle stocked in an HS Precision stock

That looks amazing. Very nice job. How tough is the finish? Will it resist scratching, wear and the weather? Did you prime the barrel first?
I want to pick up a few cans and give it a try. Do you have any afterthoughts to offer? Anything you’d do different next time?

No primer and can't speak to durability yet. Not had it out due to work commitments. Seems like it is tough enough. Be doing the bottom metal which will be a true test of durability
