Yeah, we use a chemical at work called midnight blue for some ornamental steel jobs. Turned out ok, better than rust. Not as durable as black oxide or whatever the original coating

That looks awesome, I have a similar condition 10t that I am looking to restore

What treatment did you use on the plastics?

Thanks

Those kits came both with the tape, and mount blocks. Truck turned out great!! Were those shock bodies ran on a belt sander, I think they look cool!
