Parts soaking in Rig grease (Thanks, David!)
I Parkerized my old pitted slide from the Remington Model 51 that David restored for me to test the process...
The gun is a lighter color than the pictures show... perfect for me!
The zinc phosphate gave it a nice light gray finish...
So, I had Parkerizing solution sitting around and I'm "restoring" this old Charmglow grill, so what do you think I did?
I Parkerized the top rack of the grill just because I could...
Overall, a very productive and satisfying day!! The sandblaster did a great job on the M1911A1 and the Charmglow grill, which I believe gave me the excellent results I got...
