blackening steel screws?


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

any of you an idea how to blacken screws e.g. from a HBB bezel? Sure I could buy an ALL BLACK for the screws, but maybe there is a different solution? I thought of GUNBLUE, Oil-burn or something like that?

To make them look like these left to right:

Anybody an idea? Or experience?

Thanks,

Dutchy

A flame with alot of carbon should make them black. Burn plastic & hold the screws (with pliers) over the sooty flame to coat the screws. Though, if scratched, some of the carbon will come off. You could probably also just use heat from a gas stove to darken them, which should last longer than carbon.
