Tell us more about the clear coat you used. When you dip, isn't it thick? |

Hey thanks guys. Your bolt heads will never be the same. It takes arround 1 minute to do 1 bolt from start to finish. Peale: The clear Coat is a Lacquer. Also called Nitro Cellulose, Acrylic Lacquer etc. Its the old paint systme use on cars before the 2 pack system they use now. It does go on pretty thick, but a quick couple of flicks and the excess is gone. It dries in seconds so is great for this purpose. Lets see some pics guys. |

Two coats of that and your bolts will be black as...black. |
