Riding a '37 Fleetwood
Got this stuff called Brass Darkening Solution. it's designed to darken brass parts on furniture etc.
I was turned onto this stuff by a friend who said it worked on basically any metal.
I bought this small bottle on ebay for around $5.00

I thought since I was going to use it anyway I would give a demonstration.

when they were on the Super Streamline I had to remove the fender braces. now that they're going on the Flying Ace I had to re-install them. they were held on by screws when I got them and I decided to go with a more stock rivet look. but once installed the rivets stood out like sore thumbs.

I applied a small amount with a Q-Tip. here's one done.

and all done. it took less than a minute to two, the stuff turns color almost immediately. it's an acid, so use common sense when using it.

thought that stuff looked familiar. thats exactly what I used it for. turns the fresh solder joints and the new lead came black so the lead is uniform looking.
