Gun Bluing for my Kenne Bell supercharger
I bought a used Kenne Bell and had it shipped to me. In spite of the guy trying to pack it protected it arrived with a small gouge in the housing which is anodized aluminum. It’s a very dark blue and I’m thinking if I can get the right blueing like you see on an old classic S&W that might be the best bet.

Can anyone recommend a specific color or type of bluing? I’m wondering if the Birchwood Super Blue would work?





What it looked like going into the box. The blue anodize shows more in the sun like in the previous pics.



This doesn’t address the gouge though Mad

If it's aluminum, you might have luck with Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black, which does sometimes have a bluish tint. Maybe try on a test section first.

Super Blue is only for ferrous metals, and won't work on aluminum at all.

When I used the BC Aluminum Black, I hit it with some CLP after it dried, and it turned bluish.

Sweet. I’ll give some of that a whirl.

Has to be a Mustang or Lightning. These were super popular on both of them but didn’t seem to catch on with much else for whatever reason.
