I was wondering about the thoughts of cold or rust bluing fittings?  My thought would be that you still need to show a good finish quality. I'm hoping to test this summer if all goes well. 

Thank you Gilbert

Hello Gilbert, 

Do be aware that there is a prohibition against primitive finishes so if you do a rust blue be certain that it is a rich and completely uniform patination to distinguish it from something more rustic or primitive.

Thank you Kevin. Good point about the rust bluing. I do like the look but maybe not worth the risk.
