Your firearm deserves more than just functionality—it deserves pride. Whether your gun's finish has suffered from years of faithful use or you want to restore its original luster, RTF3TX Gunsmithing's expert cold bluing service delivers both beauty and lasting protection.
What is Cold Bluing?
Cold bluing is a specialized chemical process that restores the deep, classic blue-black finish to steel firearm parts. Unlike hot bluing, cold bluing is ideal for touch-ups, spot repairs, and full refinishing on select areas—making it perfect for both collectors and everyday shooters who want precision without the hassle.
