My 95 Jeep Wrangler is in the middle of a frame-off. The exterior door & windshield hinges had countersunk Torx fasteners, and several of them were seized due to paint getting in the threads, or in one case cross-threaded. I had to drill them out and find a replacement fastener.
What I ended up with is Allen-head countersunk machine screws, finished in black oxide.
My question is, what do I need to do to these to prep for paint? I believe black-oxide finish is soaked in oil, which works its way into the porous coating. Brake cleaner? Soak in denatured alcohol? Dawn & water? If I can get the oil out of it, the black oxide should drink up epoxy primer for a very strong bond.
For painting, I'm thinking:
1) Stab them in a piece of cardboard
2) Epoxy primer - two coats
3) Base - two coats
4) Clear - two coats
Is that too much paint?
Thanks
