T97 touch ups

Anyone find anything that works to touch up scratches on the receiver of the 97s ? Cold bluing doesn’t work and I just picked up birchwood aluminum black for like AR receivers and that didn’t work either ? Cheers

Just get some flat black engine block paint.
Follow the application instructions to the letter and cure it in your oven if you can get all plastic off of it.

Thanks, but I’d rather not use paint. I’d rather leave it scratched I think

It's not some krylon sh*te sir. It's about as durable a finish you could put on a gun in your own home especially if you heat cure it like I said.
I stripped and re did an entire beat to hell Model 12 pump gun in it. I can't even scratch it/chip it off with a finishing nail.
It will withstand 600F temp and any/all oil etc

Should match the rough matte finish on the T97 just fine to boot.

I understand that but I don’t want a painted gun no matter how good the quality. I already own a bbq sks and detest the paint finish. Thanks for the input tho. I was hoping a ownerhad used a type of anodized chemical that worked on the 97. Cheers

Barbque paint is pretty good stuff, we paint mufflers and stacks with it on dozers etc. holds up pretty well and can take the heat.

I don't think there is an easy use anodizing touch up

Those are just beauty marks

I'm surprised the Birchwood aluminum black didn't work as I have had great luck with it on all kinds of AR-15 scratches. Did you try pre-heating the part before applying the finish? That often helps getting cold blue to work as well.

I'm assuming you thoroughly degreased the part first.
