I bought an old rusty 870 express today on a whim. It was $100 and it has the 20 smooth slug barrel with rifle sights. It has the wood stock which is in good shape. The metal on the barrel and some other parts of the gun is really rusty. Not, just some light surface rust but rust that has eaten the finish off in places.
What I want to know is, what are my finish options on the cheap? I want to make it look good again but I don't want to spend much money. I am thinking some type of spray paint would work but I want something that has some durability. I wouldn't mind a flat olive drab or a flat black. Is there anything I can buy at the the store that would work? Would I need a primer? I will remove all the rust before I paint of course.
Thanks.
