I've recently posted questi0ns about re-plating fasteners in an effort to retain the re-usable ones on the rear suspension of my car. Based on the responses I've gotten and my objectives I don't think that re-plating will be the best path, replacing may be more convienient and cost effective. I regularly drive my car in good weather but as we know, during driving the car will eventually be exposed to some environmental road conditions, like the unexpected rain shower
.
I've done a bunch of research on the board as well as the rest of the internet on parkerizing. On the surface, no pun untended
, it appears to be a reasonable alternative to black oxide finishes butI have a few of questions for those that have used this method of plating.
1. How does it compare to other "black" coatings on repro bolts in terms of rust prevention?
2. I've read that if the finish is not oiled occasionally it will begin to rust. Is this correct?
3. Is it best suited for interrior parts that are not exposed to road conditions?
Thanks for your input!
