Quick artillery question?

I'm rather new to the ECW era, so here's a question that is probably obvious to the grognards... What color would the barrels of a Scots "frame gun" be? Black iron? Bronze? How about a Saker cannon?

Both sets of barrels would probably be painted black to stop rusting, equally the carriage is likely to have been painted!

Big mike is right.. just also to say lots of small guns, and some big ones too were made of brass so should be painted brass..The scots frame fun definitley black mind.. js

Would black with a very light drybrush of brass - to represent paint flaking off from wear - be accurate?

Might look very good indeed - give it a bash!
