good tip for brass!
here's one for blue-
I just did a replacement loading lever and conversion cylinder on my 1861 Remington Army.Used valve grinding compound and fine steel wool to thin the blue then hammered emery cloth to give a light pitted look.reblue to darken the "pits" and thin again,then a brass wheel to smooth.amazingly the results are very nice and match the grey patina of the almost 150 yr old iron well.
