I've used Brownell's stuff a lot.
For the Blueing, I prefer their creme, works well.
For plastic, I have used the brownell's Aluma Hyde II to paint plastic, it's epoxy based, and air dries, but it takes a week or so to fully cure. But once cured, it doesn't seem to run, the "acid test" for a gun stock is mosquito repellent, it will dissolve most paint. Their curing products that require heat are ok for metal, but if you use your oven, it will stink and you will need to clean the oven. If you have a gas grill, low heat and an aluminum pan may work ok if you can regulate temp.

So I take it that it is just for steel and iron, or can it be used on other metals???
