I should explain - I want to dip pieces and then re install as they are both expensive and exposed to the elements so I want to buy/make a dip that I can dip the fasteners in such that the product clings to the metal so that time, dirt, and water do not corrode these pieces -

the bolt pair that holds the bumper on is very irregular. hardly a simple assembly or "cheap hardware" I agree something needs to protect them.
I'd think the zinc plate kit would be the best... spray on oily wax would be the second best. dipping would not work well I'd think due to the fact that attaching the dipped bolts would push off the dipped protection somewhat.

chain wax would stick well

Cosmoline works great, just warm it up a bit first.

Yep, good stuff!
