I bought the black oxide kit from Caswell Plating several years back and have been playing with it from time to time. The results have been mixed up to now. I think I finally got it right this time. I had some rear hubs and stubs that need the treatment so I got after it. I bead blasted, wire wheeled and cleaned with lacquer thinner to remove everything that might cause a problem. Parts were dipped and put in reverse osmosis water to remove solution three times. I polished the parts with 00 steel wool between each dipping(optional step in the instructions). Parts were then given the sealing oil treatment with an additional step not mentioned. After parts were dipped in the sealing oil, I took a heat gun and brought the parts up to about 150 degrees. This let the oil bake into the metal. I am very pleased with the results. I am going to clear coat the exposed areas with one coat of high temp clear brake caliper just for extra protection. Maybe a little over the top for parts that won't be seen but I know they have been done right. Judge for yourself.

Black Oxide will not stop rust. I use this on some parts I have made for me. It looks nice and gives a finish that will hold oil better than a plain finish. This will stop the rust nut only while the oil remains on the surface
