I have some car bits which are rusty and no longer available new. Secondhand parts are likely no better. They aren't structural - they just hold the rubber seal to the sunroof. Don't even show. Too complicated a pressing to make new - or at least for me. I cleaned some down to bare metal, treated with Jenolite, sprayed on zinc rich primer and finished with chassis black. Some three years later they're rusty again. I've obtained some better ones but would like to protect them in the best way possible. Any sort of plating worth doing? Especially a home kit? Or any other tips?
