Coating bare roll bar tubing
Some years ago, we used a kit that was similar to gun bluing to treat, stain, bare tubing. We did a complete dragster and it worked out fine. I do not remember any downside to the process. Like a gun, we would wipe it down from time to time but mostly it weathered just fine. Have any of y'all done this? Do you know the product?

I can picture the bottle for iquid and tube for the paste. The picture does not contain the name. Have you looked on bass pro or cabelas. Brownell's might be good bet to carry it.

I have not done this, but I do like the idea.

There is some stuff called Tool Black and Oxpho-Blue.

I do not remember what the Nostalgia Top Fuel guys were using. Maybe call Frank Parks? I bet he would know. Does Tool Black sound right?

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
