If you sand blasted a rusted tool, what would you coat it with

>painting tools
....


Anodizing is a thing for a reason senpai.

bit of CLP

Rust blueing, cold galvanizing, parkerizing or nothing and just clean and oil your tools.

Well, you could blue it I guess. Plastidip the handle and oil the working faces.

Depends on the tool. Old hand planes used Japaning. Exposed surfaces were intended to be left clean and oiled every now and again for rust proofing. After WWII chrome became a big deal. Before that, they would nickel plate stuff.Generally, if it wasn't painted before you shouldn't paint it after. If the chrome is shot then just clean and oil it every now and again.

Oil.

Tools are generally made of steel. Anodizing is for aluminum or titanium.

Cleaning and oiling are the way to go, as other anons have mentioned. Bluing could be cool but it won't hold up on any surface that contacts metal.

Powder coat and plastidip, mask any gears.

depends on tool
for my tools i plan paint/lacquer
, the working surfaces/moving parts of the tools oil/grease or any chemical surface protection or wax etc.

sandbalasting to get rid of rust is old.
Use a solution of isocyanate

Polish it on a buffer.

>>1173842
3-in-1 oil

I'd also never sandblast a tool.

I personally wouldn't and don't coat my old rusted tools. I take them to a wire wheel and leave them be. If I had to, I'd put that rubber tape stuff that you put on handles of tools and things. It's not tape but it sticks to itself real well.

a common maintenance option from back in the day that hasn't been mentioned is instead of oil using paste wax. you can find it in housewares as floor wax today. dip a cloth in, rub it on, buff it out. it will dry once buffed so unlike oil wont get sticky, and still repels water.
also >>1174039, most tools wouldn't do well with sandblasting unless you're using a medium softer than the good steel and not actual sand.
it would make OP tool useless because it would either add a shitton of slop, meaning you might as well get the 1$ store one, or it'll add texture to the worm gear so you have to use another wrench/pliers to adjust it.

>>1173842
Zinc electro galvanization.
This is only a temporary measure, of course but it's cheap, easy and gives a great look to the tools.

>>1173842
durakote/cerakote/appliance enamel

>>1173842
you could even rust blue it or cold blue it with the instant shit

>>1174318
>caustic salt and diluted salt

you have bad finishing technique

Gold plate it

Cost all tools in wd40 to prevent rust. Works like a charm
