Re: Gray phosplate coating
If you can get the parts media blasted locally you can do it yourself very easily and cheap.

Re: Gray phosplate coating
It does create a bit of an odor, but you can obtain great results doing it outside on a grill. Learned that tip from Charlie.

Re: Gray phosplate coating
I can't tell any difference. Get something like a stainless salad bowl etc from Walmart that is big enough to hold the parts you want coated, put some solution and water in it on a outdoor bar-b-q and get it hot. Put the parts in and make nut and bolt soup. Have some tongs or a ladle for lifting the parts out to check on the color. When the parts are dark enough for your liking take them out, rinse and then coat with something like WD40.

Re: Gray phosplate coating
There are many good links on the interweb and Youtube that deal with phosphate coating. I just use Prep and Etch from the box store, about 15 bux a gallon. Oven proof glass ware works good for small stuff.
Here is one Home brew phosphate Mike
