Q-Jet Paint restore ??
I used to get a product from Eastwood called Carb Renew Part # 10179Z to clean up old carbs. It looks like it is discontinued and no signs of being brought back. Does anyone know of a similar product for the Q-Jet bronze look??
Thanks for the opinions

I would love to get the original look however it is not cost effective. I reached out to some carb restore places and they want to do the carb , assemble and return a finished product. Joe Scott told me about the Eastwood product a long time ago. I know its not an original finish but I thought it was a nice touch to an old core. Thanks

I can rechromate them, finish can be darker gold with longer duration of dip
