No paint, just a black oxide finish. Has anyone else used this finish for hardware on exposed areas? | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,067 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,067 | I think that all the original stuff, except maybe fasteners for some mechanical parts on the driveline were cad plated. Zinc plating is the current substitute for cadmium.
I have not used black oxide on anything exposed.
