Subject:      Re: Black oxide finish on stainless steel

Black oxide has two different application methods. Cold and hot. Cold is for interior show. Hot is approved for automotive exterior use by some certification orginization and has an offical desigantion for this use.Never wrote it down,but I guess I will recover it. It is a semi gloss finish. I'll send a picture of my painted OEM rusty screws. They are not too bad, but they are indeed painted.Not just the heads. Screws and bolts are avaliable with painted heads from some bolt sellers.If they dont sell painted bolts, they all can refer you to a company that does this. They will drop ship the bolts to the black oxide people.

Mcmaster-carr didnt have metric sheet metal screws or metric carriage bolts. They offered to search for them for me.I got a call two days later and they could not find carriage bolts in metric sizes. The sheet metal screws they offered were mopre expensive than if I got them from over seas myself.
