Has anyone refinished a Denix Webley? Looking for any tips or tricks.

I did a search, and really didn’t come up with anything in particular that answered what I was looking for. Of course, my search may have been off…so redirection to appropriate threads would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What are you wanting to do? Repaint/change the finish?

Repaint…with something durable.

Mine has been sitting in the holster in storage for years, and the paint has started to come off, revealing the zinc.

Not sure if rebluing would actually work on the low quality metal.

I’ve seen the first link. The RPF link seems to be what I was hoping for.

Thanks, Jeff!

I second this. Coming from Romania, it's too hard to own firearms, so I would love to see what you can get from potential stand-ins.
