Of a bottle of that stuff can you buy? My Chrome Moly Ross should
be here tomorrow or Saturday.
I bought a bottle of concentrate from Midway or Brownells, I forget. Makes a couple of gallons. I've been working off of that bottle for years. Sure does a good job if you totally degrease the surface and are relatively close with the temperature.

Of course I too parkerize, and buy the stuff by the fifty gal drum, on occasion, but I like the car-care products, for the most part, can't beat the prices, by comparison. Y'all might give Hy-Temp Header paint a go, I like it allot. Degrease as usual, put the brake on a coat hanger (for the Bushmeister, that's a steel coat hanger..wink), warm it up in your kitchen over, run outside and paint it, you'll love the results and touch-ups are a snap. A can will last several life times and costs, well less than $12 bucks and sometimes allot less (http://www.simsupply.com/Items/435933).
Post Script... Speaking to Automotive Products, in firearm uses.. Truck-Paint has Camo-Colors (or close to it) and little rubber gobs in the paint itself, that grip your hand like an over-molded stock does, again really cheap and really good to boot (example- here's enough to do a dozen stocks - http://www.bing.com/shopping/1-duplicol ... &FORM=HURE).
I'll take say, an M1Carbine stock, using the directions and the wife's oven, I'll spray on "Easy-Off" Oven Cleaner, to the grease soaked stock. The stock in minutes comes out as clean as a whistle, this is really the lazy-mans way, but hey. Then spray on the Mulit-Colored Trunk Paint, bingo, you've got a very functional beauty, with a very little time or energy to get there, to boot.
An examination of the various Car Products, can save you a heap of Time & Money and best of all, who here is not minutes from a automotive parts house?
