Where can I get a good paint job done on my gun in the Pittsburgh pa area?
Are you looking for a simple rebluing, or are you looking to get something like Duracoat or Cerakote? Any comptent gunsmith can put new bluing on a gun. If you're looking for Duracoat or Cerakote, there's only two places I would recommend, and neither of them is in Pittsburgh - for Duracoat, I'd recommend 7.62 Precision/High Ready Tactical (see related link), or if you wanted Cerakote, Amelon Firearms is the only place I'd recommend (see related link). I would strongly advise you NOT to trust just anyone when it comes to a Duracoat job. Many shops which offer it can offer very nifty looking finishes, but can often end up allowing the paint to go into places it's not supposed to go, which hinders the function of the firearm.

How do you remove bluing from guns?
Birchwood Casey makes a chemical that removes bluing. In addition, Naval Jelly, a popular rust remover, will also remove gun bluing.

A magnet will not stick to aluminum, but both the Birchwood Casey product and Naval Jelly will corrode aluminum alloy very quickly.
