POR 15 makes a product called Matal Mask,and it is similar in strength to their black product,but it is considered a top coat and isnt as UV sensitive as the black paint.I used it on the brake backing plates on my race car at they looked great,it looks like a galvinized finish and has no glass at all.They dont tell you that you can mix products,but I mixed some flat black POR15 topcoat into the Metal Mask and it toned it down a bit and it really looked like cast iron on the calipers and rotors.If the parts are sand blasted and cleanrd with their metal wash,and allowed to sure about a week before you put a wrench to them,the stuff is indestructable,and it wont disappoint you later on.It is a great way to go if you are doing a restoration and have the time to work with the products,It isnt a good way to go if you are trying to dollup parts on a Saturday afternoon while swapping them out.Good luck.
