Works really well. some tips and tricks
make sure you de-grease really well. Use Castrol de-greaser from Walmart (9/gal) and it works great full strength. Rinse in distilled H2O only. no tap water. Warm solution to 120 deg. F. it really helps. Remove and rise in distilled water. Coat with penetrating fluid for a more genuine look but is not the longest lasting solution. The Caswell sealer works really well and lasts long than oil. They say to dip in sealer immediately but i have rinsed with distilled H2O. Dried and used sealer with great results. Best of luck. This stuff works great.

Only way to blacken automotive fasteners.
I have used this blackening solutition before and it works great. Just sandblast the part and put it in the solution then seal it.
