Can I fix this?

[pilot25]

Was practicing mag reloads, after the 100th or so, my hand gave out and the thing went flying like a frisbee. Hit the corner of a metal shelf.

Can I repair this so it doesn't rust or am I looking at a refinish job? I was thinking maybe some Birchwood Casey Superblue would stop the impending rust.

i've used Super blue with good success.

I was watching some videos about it. Do I have to sand the area then apply it?
I would think that will make it look much worse. However, I'm more worried about rust. Does it wear off and you have to keep reapplying it? The spot is right where my finger sits off trigger.

buy a bottle of cerakote close to the color and apply.

No yiu don't have to sand if you don't want to. Clean the area with acetone and let dry before applying super blue.

No need to sand before using the bluing, as long as it hasn't rusted yet. Might want to degrease it first. Bluing probably won't wear off. You can coat it with a little paste wax (not polish) if it bothers you. That's what I do to my high-polish blued guns. So far, so good.

Thanks everyone. Cerakote air dry paint is really expensive and difficult to find. So I'll have to see how the bluing goes first.

Worst comes to worst I'll head to Engage and get a cool Cerakote paint job done. I hear they are pretty good at Cerakote jobs.

Carefully knock down the high spots from the displaced metal and run it.

Two questions:

1) Aluminum or steel frame?

2) What's the original finish? If it's not blued then the blue won't match exactly (and, bluing is not a great rust preventer anyway). If you want to go super-cheap even permanent marker can work just to cover.

Personally I'd gently flatten out the high spots and just shoot it. The spots on my handguns that rust are the ones that get handled a lot, particularly the rear slide and sight area.

Is that a Sig? If so, the frame is probably aluminum and all you need is a black magic marker or a touch of flat black paint.

Pretty sure thats a Sig P series with a Nitrited coating on an aluminum frame... It might not be exact but I would try this first.. Inexpensive, quick and useful for your AR's.
