It’s a a copper powder that is applied and selectively oxidized
what is rust bluing for $500
Rust is Fe2O3 you fucking retard

Wow that thumbnail is cancer
yup
rust is damage, blue is good. Entirely different.
Essentially, rust bluing uses an acid solution to rust the steel in a controlled environment. Boiling the rust converts the red oxide to black oxide which constitutes the metal finish.
