Tex Rider Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have a pair of satin black 357 pistoleros. Has anyone removed the finish? I'd like to add a more antiqued patina finish. Any links? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend P. Babcock Chase Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Howdy CP, Before you embark on a laborious "antiquing" process, consider what I did on a pair of USFA matte black Rodeos. With no more disassembly than removing the cylinder, I took Flitz polish on a soft rag (I think I may have used a paper towel and polished the gun. This created a soft grey finish that looked really good and old. I was careful to leave a little more matte in the low areas that would have been protected from normal wear. It took very little time and didn't involve a full teardown and a bunch of chemical treatments. I suggest you try that first. If you're not happy with the results, you can go the full Longshot Logan treatment, which is really nice even though it's a lot like work.
