[VAC] stove grate renewal



Scott and other interested parties,
I've done a little research into your stove grate issue as I have a similar problem with my trailers. I have spent some time in the amateur car racing world and alot of low volume parts are black oxide coated. This is what you would see on tools and many suspension part assemblies.  It takes a while to rust and looks great, kind of a mat black hue. Check out www.caswellplating.com . They have kits for the home plater for nickel, chrome and even black oxide. I contacted the company with the question about using it for a stove grate and they didn't feel that it would cause any problems. Good luck with it.
