I've just had a receiver color case hardened and was considering applying a lacquer on the finished metal to protect it(What Galazan has posted). Does anyone have any recommendations? Is it worth it or not? Help!!
Ask the people who did the case color what they used before you apply anything over it. I was told to use the Galazan case color lacquer. To mix it 50/50 with denatured alcohol and apply with an artist's sable brush. Be aware that the lacquer can run. A hot air source such as a hair blow drying gun can speed up the process.
I would use tru-oil applied very lightly. I also remember Oscar recommending clear nail polish at one point.
