Parkerizing is the process of applying a protective chemical coating to metal surfaces. It’s often used on firearms because it protects the metal from corrosion and rust.
To parkerize a gun barrel, you’ll need:
- a gun barrel
- degreaser or mineral spirits
- parkerizing solution
- a small brush or cloth
- paper towels or rags
- camouflage paint (optional)
- Clean the barrel with degreaser or mineral spirits to remove all grease and dirt. Wipe it down with a paper towel or rag to dry.
- Apply the parkerizing solution to the barrel using a small brush or cloth. Rub it in until the barrel is evenly coated.
- Allow the solution to sit on the barrel for the recommended time (usually about 10-15 minutes).
- Rinse the barrel with water and dry it off with a paper towel or rag.
- Apply a layer of camouflage paint, if desired. This will help further protect the barrel from rust and corrosion.
That’s it! Your gun barrel is now parkerized and ready for action.
