I removed the factory blue and the muddy looking stock finish on my Pietta 1858 Remington. Then ground the metal grip frame smaller just a bit behind the trigger guard for more knuckle room and used Brownell's T-4 gun black solution. Not to look like an antique but just because I did not like the slick original metal finish or the sloppy applied grip stain. Have not done the cylinder yet though. View attachment 315921
Which one did you use, and how much is needed?

I have both types of the Brownells solutions and I used the cream type on this gun as I like it best. I only used two coats. The more you apply the darker it gets and I wanted a used looking finish.
