Mossy "Marinecote" finish turns yellow?

At the gun show yesterday, I noticed a Mossberg 590 in the Marinecote finish that looked like crap! The nice stainless-ish look of the SG was kind of a yellow-ish green. Totally made me want to :barf:

Was it just neglected?

Is there something I should clean my 590's finish with to prevent this?

Should I just sell my 590 marinecote and get a 590 in basic black?


Thanks all!

I have had my marincote 500 since 1995 and it still looks great.

Could this be some sort of cheap lacquer coating over the nickle that is starting to yellow?

This has me a little worried. Iffin' I ever have a child, I'd like to hand down the same pretty SG I have now, now something that looks like the cat peed on. :uhoh: :D

If you are concerned, then just get a Remmy 870 Marine Magnum.
I've had mine for 13 years now (I think) and it shows no finish wear.
