For carbon steel parts, cold blue can work really well but I believe most "blued" Kimber pistols are actually blackened stainless steel which will not take on cold blue. With that said, the slide might be carbon steel as have touched up a big "oopsie" on my Kimber slide with Brownell's Oxpho-Blue and it came out well.

Blued or stainless?? Stainless is the only material i recommend trying to touch up as it's just a simple job.

if it's blued I don't recommend trying as you will do more damage then good.

its not blued they call it something else, black oxide

There is no good touchup for black oxide.
You could have the whole thing re-done in black oxide though.

Blue is black oxide and like Randall said there is no good touchup.

Your options include

1. refinish

2. Cerokote

3. leave it as is
