Second that.
Designed by Boeing engineers who needed something to coat bare metal parts where their tolerances were too close to have paint or the like do it.
Sears is going to start carrying Boeshield T-9 in stores in a month or two.

These are some suspension parts after all restoration work is completed. There is no paint on them, they have been plated to resemble heat treated steel and then they have been treated to a coating of Boe-Shield.

and finally the steering gear. Obviously not heat treated so it is not as dark.

Those are some good looking parts! Rick, what plating is used to achieve the "heat-treated" look?

Sam, I have a couple of different methods. I either soak the parts in VERY hot dirty motor oil and/or use a chemical bluing method. I do all my bare steel parts this way as opposed to painting and have been doing them this way for about 8 years with very good results. Not really meant for a daily driver though I see no reason they would not last.
