Art's Belgium Blue is not a cold blue. It is an accelerated rust blue and is very durable. I did a Ruger Blackhawk and it came out very nice. If you use it, make sure that you only put enough bluing onto your cloth so no runs occur. It took me 9 coats to get the blue that I wanted. took probably about two hours.
I have another Blackhawk that I want to do and I am tempted to use Mark Lee's express blue because I have heard it is easier to use. You may want to consider that instead
The only thing that you may have a problem with is the 600 grit finish you have gotten the barrel down to. I think that the Belgium Blue needs a little bit of something to bite onto. Do a liitle research or call Brownell's to see for sure. The belgian blue leaves a nice satin finish and will be a very nice deep purple-blue color under bright light.
