Nice job, Phosphoric acid is the usual way to parkerise however Brownells sell a solution as well, the only thing is they will not ship out side of the USA. I can see I need to look a bit further at this.

Yes, parkerizing is easy.
Once the metal is fully cleaned and ready, the solution can even be heated in a stainless pot then poured into any vessel large enough to hold the part you are parking.
Everything from glass cook wear (pyrex) to a trough made from PVC piping great for barreled actions.
I have done small parts on the kitchen counter and because the temp used is so low (around 180 deg f) I have even used plastic a picnic cooler.
