I have an inexpensive stainless steel barrel that I'd like to change to black or blued. I'd prefer to not go the bbq paint route.
Has anyone used Caswell Blackening products on stainless steel? Looking for some feedback or advice about how to go about doing this. Maybe someone can suggest another product or a better way.
Caswell has a Canadian website so I assume the products are available here in Canada.
Below is the info that came from from the Caswell website:
