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

You can use the Berryman or the Gunk or the Mac's part cleaner but protect yourself well because those products are hamrful. See their safety information before using. I'm also not sure about the return of the zinc finish.

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