I have some car bits which are rusty and no longer available new.
Secondhand parts are likely no better. They aren't structural - they
just hold the rubber seal to the sunroof. Don't even show. Too
complicated a pressing to make new - or at least for me. I cleaned
some down to bare metal, treated with Jenolite, sprayed on zinc rich
primer and finished with chassis black. Some three years later
they're rusty again.
I've obtained some better ones but would like to protect them in the
best way possible. Any sort of plating worth doing? Especially a home
kit? Or any other tips?

Loctite do a product that apparently converts rust to something black, never
used it, heard its good though.
