I've done cold-rust bluing and browning with good success on a new barrel,

blacking solutions from Brownells and see how good you are at doing
makeup.

Oxpho blue works well.

It sounds good. Someone else recommended it here, years ago, but I haven't
tried it. I think Iggy is looking for black though, no?
