....or do i have to blast and re-coat the ones i have? Doing some undercarriage "spiffing up".

Did some googling, searched black dragon and rockauto. Cant find a part number or stock...

I covered the threads and blasted and powder coated mine. You can also remove the bolt and use stainless. I did this on some also.

I wish i had room to get an extra oven for powdercoating...

does anyone know what kind of finish is on these things originally? Since some of mine are a little deteriorated (due to a brake fluid leak from before i had the car) the old finish seems to come off in chunks, seems much thicker than regular paint, a little flexible even. Was it some sort of undercoating type material??

The covering is a plastic of some sort.

You can use a toaster oven to powder coat. A lot of guys that make fish lures use them. You don't even need a powder gun for small parts. You can heat the item up to 200 degrees and sprinkling the powder over the hot part and then bake at 350-400 degrees for 20 minutes. It's called Hot Flocking. No kidding.

Not to be confused with Hot Pockets..(the act of "supposedly" digging for change..)
