We’re not sure that any company has come up with more stuff over the years than Eastwood has. These guys are dreaming up tools and unique solutions for hot rodders and gearheads that someone us didn’t even know we had a need for until we actually saw them. Here’s more proof. Eastwood’s new 2 component metal blackening system is designed to replicate that cool factory black oxide look that is common on OEM bolts, brackets, and other parts. If you are doing a restoration job this could be a lifesaver for you because it will provide that factory look you are searching for. If you are just a guy building a muscle car or hot rod and want to finish the job in a detail level you can be proud of, this is also a great solution.

How many times have you seen a car and thought how nice it was but how much cooler it could have been if the builder went that one extra inch to make it all beautiful from tip to stern. Well, here’s a product that can get you the results, finish, and detail that you are looking for. Check it out below.

Here’s the release from The Eastwood Company –

The Eastwood Company, innovators of do-it-yourself automotive restoration tools and
supplies, has just introduced a new 2-component Metal Blackening System that
replicates the OEM black oxide/phosphate finish commonly used on bolts and other
automotive fasteners and brackets.  Eastwood's new system offers the same look and
feel, but with more durability over the original finish.  This system offers a
finish that protects against rust and corrosion, and is heat resistant to 500F. 
Application is easy with the included Preval Sprayer;  no special tools or equipment
are required to apply this finish.

OEM black oxide finishes were done with chemical baths and heat cures.  The new
Eastwood Metal Blackening System eliminates the need for a heat cure allowing anyone
to tackle this process.  This blackening system works on steel, iron, stainless, and
aluminum.   "We've seen a lot of great restorations that have had corrosion coming
through the original black oxide used on fasteners and brackets" commented Nick
Capinski, Eastwood Content Engagement Manager. "Eastwood's new Metal
Blackening System provides a much more durable finish, that retains the OEM look and
feel, which is important on a correct restoration."  Eastwood's system is impervious
to gasoline and DOT 3 brake fluid.  A kit will cover 6 square feet.  

Eastwood markets unique tools and supplies for repair, restoration, and modification
of cars, trucks and motorcycles, as well as for home and garage DIYers. Founded in
1978, Eastwood strives to develop new products to serve the home automotive
