I have been refurbing an M900 XTR seatpost using bluing agent. Has taken a few attempts but it’s looking acceptable now. @Tsundere has a thread about this on the general chat page if anybody is interested.

Also been refurbing my M900 rear mech as it was pretty grubby and the jockey wheels were knackered. Sourced these from bicyclist.cc

Just need someone with a laser etcher to redo the logos.

coming together nicely.
I tried the gun blue on an XT seatpost. First couple of applications didn’t make a huge difference - I think I need to give it a few more coatings.

I learnt that it’s quite a frustrating process to get looking good. You really need bare finished steel and need to clean everything so there is no grease. You also need to get in on quickly and evenly using a clean cloth and rub the liquid in as opposed to just painting on. Wash off shortly after.
