Wonder if that K&P is Bo Clerkes old shop?                                     Someone once told me, the barrel had to be plated with a mild steel & then dip or rust blue as usual. You could also nickel plate & then dye it black, as in "black chrome", holds up on car trim why not a gun barrel?            ...MIKE...

Re: Painting -- while I have not yet painted a barrel, I've been
researching this topic for some time.  I have an SS Bartlein on
a SS that needs to be blued/etc. for a more traditional appearance.   

I've read several accounts that coating the painted barrel 
with flat clear spray lacquer (Krylon, Rustoleum, etc.)
greatly improved the durability od the paint over time.

Hope this helps!
John
