The Birchwood Casey Perma Blue Paste delivers professional-grade cold bluing results for firearms restoration and touch-up work. This selenium dioxide-based formula creates a durable blue-black finish on steel surfaces without requiring heat application or specialized equipment.
What Makes This Different
Unlike liquid bluing solutions that can run and create uneven coverage, this paste formula stays exactly where applied for precise control. The thick consistency allows for targeted application on small areas, scratches, or worn spots while maintaining consistent color depth. Professional gunsmiths choose this paste for its ability to match existing factory finishes on both new and vintage firearms.
