Default Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc

I either soak mine out very heated dirty engine oil (darkens them up a little) so the oil is absorbed into the pores of the parts or the easiest is to coat them in Boe-Shield. You have to be careful soaking the parts depending on what they are. I don't soak springs for instance. Dave Miner (mrrec) has some great advice in the past on finishing/plating.
