Hanging to dry for a couple days. These reflect what the finished appearance would be using this method and the same look originals had. Drips, runs, thin and thick areas etc. are the norm. I used a box as a drip catcher, a clean metal pan would have allowed for a better unused product catch all (to save it) maybe next time. Most of the Cosmoline runs/drips off but it's a slow (hours) process.

Once these were dried the surface was slightly tacky, sort of like a candle feels, not so much stick, but waxy. I used ECS's RPM product on the entire arm before coating so any bare areas will remain nice and rust free.

I have also used the Krylon battery protector with good results for drivers I've done, it looks pretty close, dries to a slick non sticky surface like other paints, etc. but it won't get by any O.E judge worth his salt. I haven't tried Ricks "Quasiline" product but he makes awesome products so I'm sure it's high quality stuff as well.
