How to properly re-paint a cheap handgun?

Question

I've stripped, primed, and apint steel bofore on carrier flight deck, but I'm not sure if I would do the same way, i'm looking for Chrome, Nickel, or the original steel if it's possible safely.

Answer 1

Well your best bet is to take it to a gunsmith which i agree unless you got experience in chroming or nickle plating. the best source i would use is the gunsmiths guide which can be found at various book stores  

Answer 2

Dunk it in Tar. Then put flower on it. DONT DO THIS

Answer 3

mongo deserves best answer on this.  I'm just glad you are making your first attempt on a cheap gun.  My first try was on a CVA black powder kit.

Answer 4

Contact or visit a local gunsmith for finish options and prices. If you are a real do it yourselfer: Brownells sells everything you could want for finishing firearms and other gunsmithing suplies.

Blueing, parkerizing, paints, teflon, plating.....
