I know this is not shooting related but maybe someone knows the answer.
I have a Colt single action with the brass accents. The back strap and trigger guard are not brass colored anymore due to ware and usage.
Tonight I found out that these parts are brass plated (or dyed) steel. Used a magnet to determine the metal after I thought that maybe they were badly tarnished and used some Brasso and all it did was mate the steel highly polished.
Is there a solution that I can use to dye them brass color?
Looked on Brownell's website but didn't see anything
Thanks in advance.
