I've always used to see everybody asking how to get that blue tint on their gun barrels, well the other day I bought some Model Masters Gunmetal # 1795, and it definitely has a blue tint, even when I cleaned my brush off, to when it was real thin it looked blue it left the paper blue. So has anybody else tried this for their blue tint on their gun barrels. Hope this helps someone.

I use MM gunmetal and also gunmetal buffing metalizer from Model Masters. They work great together followed with a little burnt metal metalizer for subtle wear.
