With regular cold-blue like Oxpho-blue?

Gees, don't even have to waste that good stuff on brass. Make sure you clean or even buff the brass with 0000 steel wool. You can apply as many coats as you wish and it's more of a dark redish brown. Note that it lasts about as long as a cold blue works on steel. Eventually it will wear off. I do some restoratin work on old ramrods and if I have to put new tips on old sidelocks, I do the brass this way.
Just came to mind that perhaps the better the bluing, the deeper the color. .....

If you choose to, do as
Edward429451 has listed but put a drop of oil, in the cup and let it soak a little. This will reduce any sparking and just "pick" out the mud. .....
Be Safe !!!
