Depending on how you feel about this shotgun or what you use it for, this may work for you.
I actually painted an 870 that I bought 2nd hand for sea-duck hunting. When I got it the gun had scratches and chips in the blueing, so I took a chance and cleaned all the oil and grease off , used a light emory cloth to sand the chipped and rusted areas then I painted the receiver and barrel with a rustoleum flat black hi- temp paint and I speckled it with some Parkers Duck Boat paint that I had for a cammo effect. I also changed the wooden stock and forend to synthetic.
That was well over 10 years ago and the finish still looks like I did it yesterday.
