I can add to that....If you wish to help preserve the chromate coating you can apply some of ECS's metal treatments to the freshly dipped surfaces, it will further seal the new surface from the harmful oxidation process. I like the AMMO product they sell, it wipes on with no heat, sort of like a very soft gel/wax. Allow it to dry and buff it off and it's 100% invisible.
