Acrylic.

I'll bet money that your gun is NOT blued and NOT parkerized... simply because the chances of any budget BB gun actually being machined from steel is ZERO. Bluing and Parkerization are general steel treatment techniques.

Easiest/fastest way to get the coating off, is to sandblast it. Then spray it with acrylic, but expect any internal mechanical interfacing to get royally messed up.

If you can do it by hand, then you'll have a lot more control over it, but for what it's worth, Acrylic enamel is NOT permanent either. It can wear, but at least it's more durable than a layer of WD40. :P
