I strip clean and degrease my cc's guns and coat them with spray polyurethane. I do that every couple years. The cc on my guns, used continually year round show no degradation of the colors whatsoever since coming to my care.

So use and do whatever you like but if you like the colors to stay there are FAR better coatings than tung oil, laq (watta a joke!), or varnish.

I have been told of a bake-on enamel that Brownells sells but have not had the opportunity to check that out. Bake-on has some great potnetial for sure.
