This video by Brownells' "Smyth Busters" (Caleb Savant and Steve Ostrem) directly addresses the question of whether cold bluing is as durable as traditional hot bluing.

Cold bluing, applied at room temperature, is a surface-level chemical reaction that wears off easily and is primarily recommended for touching up minor imperfections rather than finishing an entire firearm.
