[SS427]

Whenever I have a customer who is counting pennies, I spray the hinges flat black, followed by a thin coat of cast blast and followed up with a dry spray of cast. I hold the can back about two feet and 'dust' the hinges with a bunch of small bursts giving it a dry spray coat and a velvety texture. Compared to a set of phosphated hinges, they are almost indistinquishable. They just don't darken with age. I have been doing this for as long as cast blast has been available with great results.
