[AJD] metal coating

[Steve W.]

Too thick for what your doing. For shafting your probably limited to
bluing or hard chrome. If the shafts have to slide at all any paint will
cause binding. I would probably use bluing/blackening solution like
Oxpho-Blue. easy to apply and could be touched up easily when required.
