Yes it's primarly just to keep the rust away. I glass bead the parts down to bare metal with 80 grit, and then spray on the Cad paint. I have had good results with it. The hood springs and parking brake mechnism was also done with it.

It also mimicks the look of tin plating that you find on new hardware. So that is why I use it on hardware where they dont specifically call for the harware to be finished in a different manner.

I dont have the budget to have all on hardware replated. So this is my resto on a budget method.
