Try this for a natuaral, unfinished look...

Yesterday, 11:10 PM

I cleaned up a bunch of nuts and bolts the best I could. Then I put them in stright Evaporust to get what small amount of rust I missed like threads inside nuts for about 48 hours.

Then I drained the Evaporust from the batch NOT using any type of rince water. I put the batch of still wet nuts and bolts in a plastic container and just let them dry on their own moving them around every once in a while. Did this about 8 months ago or so and they are still holding their own sheen...Much better than painting and gives the nuts and bolts a much more "natural", unfinished steel look.
