recoating/plating stock top end bolts anyone done it?

[phrogs]

I have used the SS bolts but I was thinking about putting my spare engine up for powder coat treatment and I was thinking of using the stock hardware, does anyone know of a good place to send these bolts for black oxide coating like the factory did. I have plenty of hardware so no worries about striped heads :mrgreen:

Not the same but Gun Blueing looks good & is pretty durable, might want to give it a try, Johnny. I use it in similar situations.

Well I tryed that stuff that eastwood sells and it doesnt work very well so I was thinking about just sending them off.

Ill check out the gun blueing as well.

You dont have to go to the hassle of sending them out,bead blast the bolt heads and blow some satin black on them.Ive got an air brush Ive used for this and it works like a charm.Once the bolts are painted bake them in an oven at about 150 degrees for 1/2 an hour and your good.
