Black paint to prevent rust?

[palerider1]

black wood burning stove paint might work, although i would rather clean my guns right away insted of painting them.

HSO is right, any carnuba car wax will stop rust in its tracks. I have all my blued guns waxed this way and haven't had any rust in years. Also it is invisible on the blueing, and will let them look natural.

LPS3 is like a lite cosmoline.......

It works great for long term gun storage but if used on a regularly used gun would leave greasy/tacky stuff on your hands and clothes. LPS 2 is for everyday use as it dries and leaves a rust prohibiting film......good stuff, we use it in the aviation industry......chris3
