Try some heat too
I have used Brownell's Oxpho Blue as well. It is the best "cold blue" out there. The Birchwood Casey and other products are not in the same league.
Here is a hint: Try heating the metal a bit with a hot air gun, but do not get it too hot, just very warm. The heat will allow a deeper blue. Just warm and then apply. You will need a few coats for it to really take.
It really does produce a nice black surface that is quite wear-resistant.
If that doesn't work, get that Mak chromed with pearl grips!!!
