Hey guys. Another Saturday evening in the shop watching the hockey game. After following many members tips and tricks during their restorations. I have been following Black_ Sheep's GTX thread lately and of course anything that Wayne does aka dadsbee. Well I seen Mark using that Caswell black oxide treatment and thought why not? Since we can purchase that up here in Canada now. Because I believe that we couldn't get that here a few years ago. And when Wayne was doing the Super Bee he coated most of his bare metal with RPM
So tonight I tackled my UCA bolts like Mark did. Loved the look of them. So I bead blasted, cleaned and then did the oxide treatment. Soaked them in some WD-40 and was letting them dry. As per the directions. Then I got thinking about Wayne's RPM treatment. So why not. Took out the heat gun, heated up the cam bolts gave them a good coating of RPM. I knew the RPM would make the parts slightly darker. I think they turned out pretty good look wise plus maybe a bit better protection from rust.
Here are a few pictures of tonight's experiment. Anybody ever do this? Over Kill??
