Aww Olly, all mature and that  ;)

You gonna blue it a bit more? Looking at your pic if you chose a coloured candy coat the current blueing might not show up too well Olly.

oldtired:
wire wool  002 then 000,    shiny but dull then clear coat  :daumenhoch:       was the plan for this but things went off on a bit of a tangent as per usual with me   :LolLolLolLol:

It's not that far away, I think you need more heat probably need to use oxy-acetylene torch.  Don't think I be doing it on a frame I was going to use because it's bound to affect the strength if you don't know what you're doing.

Someone suggested bluing earlier check this out.

OllyHall:
I wet and dried the frame and gave it a bit more heat and I'm pretty happy with it now, ithink I'm going for a bronze,brown or copper tranz paint/clear coat so will see what happens :daumenhoch:

OllyHall:
All done and happy how it turned out, only cost me about £10
