Hot Oil Dipping?

[AMXguy]

 I read where the hood latch and catch lever should be hot oil dipped for the most original look, is that correct? and if so how do you do it? what kind of oil and how hot?

Thanks I'll go the cosmoline route. is that the same thing as hot oil dipping I wonder? maybe they dipped stuff in hot cosmoline and that's where it came from.  now that I have the big stuff done I have too much time to worry about the trivial stuff like the finish on small parts. I'll never be concours anyway I don't know why I worry about it.

Never heard of it referred to as hot oil dipping. Pieces such as the hood & trunk latch some suspension components, I suppose anything that was not painted or plated were dipped in cosmoline. Reading in the description of one of the tubs I Googled they state that it can be warmed for submersing.
