Black Oxide Bolts
In the middle of some TLC updates on my C-10. As I have the front end apart and don't want to buy new bolts, I was looking at wire brushing them and then coating them with a black oxide coating.
Does anyone have experience doing this?

When you click the link in that thread it will bring you to a page not found on the caswell website.In the header at the top you will see black oxide where the solutions are there.

Re: Black Oxide Bolts
Buy new bolts. It's a lot easier and cheaper than glass beading and phosphate
coating your originals by far. |

It's typical that shops have a minimum rate and that typically gets you pounds of plated fasteners, latches, hinges, etc.

Re: Black Oxide Bolts
I got a bottle of Jax for my birthday and it works well. You don’t need the kit, just the blackening agent you can finish them with WD40 or penetrating oil.

Re: Black Oxide Bolts
I've redone OEM bolts using the same method as 70STOVEBOLT with good results. If you have a bead blaster or wire wheel then this is a good option. I bought a pint of Caswell Black Oxide Concentrate and use WD40 as the sealer. Here's a good video from Cuda Cody on the process:
