Of course bluing rusts. It is rust. It needs to be kept oiled or waxed to keep it from oxidizing, rusting, or fading.

And I think your customer would be better served with GunKote on the gun, not DuraCoat. DuraCoat goes on fairly thick, Gunkote is very thin. DuraCoat will interfere with normal operation becasue it adds quite a bit dimensionally, GunKote is less than .001" thick if properly applied.
