Here is my test bolt. Both are dash bolts that I soaked in rust remover for a day, cleaned and dry and follow video

Those look great. My biggest question is rust resistance. I wish there was a place that did salt bath nitriding close by. That stuff is darn near indestructible.

Very interesting but didn't watch the video. Can you paint over it?

The kit includes a light oil as last step, doubt paint would stick unless you skipped oil step and put clear coat
