A quick query . . . Anybody know a good way to color metal chain black (or other color, as necessary) other than paint? I need the chain to be flexible and regular paint kinda glues the links together if you paint them completely. Does anyone do miniature electro-plating in black?
I believe MicroMark has a fluid you can dip it in that will blacken chain. Probably available elsewhere as well.
Never tried it, and can’t remember exactly who carries it.
Most gun shops sell ,blueing & blackening agents
Being a shooter I should have thought of that, but since I can’t strip off the cheap chrome, I might not work.
It’s time to experiment!
For brass metal, there is a brass blackening solution. As someone previously said, Micro Mark sells it. Try googling the term and you will find others. Some sporting goods stores have it.
Add some color and interest to the anchor chain. Add shot count markings to the chain.
Remember, red you’re dead!
