SOLVED!! HELP with Victor Orthophonic Brass Reproducer

[JerryVan]

Do they sell a paint specifically for brass??

Yes, it's called "any paint you like". Really, just any good spray paint, applied in a nice thin coat, will work.

Would brass black work? It oxidizes the metal instead of coating it and turns it black.

I have used Birchwood Casey for years on brass. The brass needs to be super clean. Any bit of dirt or crud will not make it work.

Birchwood Casey Super Gun Blue failed miserably. I believe it's because it works in steel and not brass. Any other suggestions? Do they sell a paint specifically for brass??

Ok I will clean the surface and try again. I saw an example on steel and WOW!!

You may have missed my post above your's. Is THIS not what you are looking for? it's all over eBay for about 8 or 9 bucks.

Dont let the product name fool ya! It comes out black. Thanks though!!

Thanks for the Super Blue tip!! I cleaned it thoroughly with alcohol. Then it took 4 applications to get it perfect!! Thank you thank you!!! Very happy with the results!!!

I would use Birchwood Casey Super Gun Blue. It is very dark, almost black. Make sure the surface is clean. Apply with a Q tip. Because this is a chemical application, the fine details will not be obliterated. Most Victor Brass reproducer have a dark black/blue finish anyway. The potmetal ones are painted black.

Cant thank you enough Harvey!!! Came out amazing!

Glad to help, and glad it worked for you. Also, this stuff is great for those black/blue screws for Edison, Victor and such.
