Hello everybody!

I need to parkerize a gun or at least some parts. Is there any place in Canada or near Montreal where I can do it.?

Thank you for your help!

"...Is there any place..." Hi. Used to be you could go to any metal finishing shop, but the Socialist F**ks stopped that. You can buy a kit and do it yourself without too much trouble.
You know that Parkerizing produces shades of grey depending on what steel is goes on? And there's no such thing as green Parkerizing.

You could parkerize it yourself with phosphoric acid, distilled water, manganese. Google diy parkerizing. PM if you want recipe that worked for me.

I sent some some to Arma-Coat. They did a great job and had the parts back to me sooner than they quoted me...

You seem like a knowledgeable guy, you should edit/correct this misinformation.

Zinc phosphating results in a non-reflective, light- to medium-gray finish. Manganese phosphating produces a medium- to dark-gray or black finish. Iron phosphating produces a black or dark gray finish similar to manganese phosphating. The grain size of the zinc phosphating is usually the smallest among the three processes, providing a more appealing cosmetic appearance in many applications. Many firearms that are Parkerized turn to a light greenish-gray color within a few years, as the coating ages, with the protective coating remaining intact. Cosmoline, especially, interacting with Parkerizing, can cause the greenish-gray patina to develop on firearms that are stored in armories. This is considered desirable and attractive by firearms enthusiasts.
