DLC looks interesting, talk to me more. smile

So DLC would be a coating where nitride a treatment, is that right?

From what I've read so far, it looks like it comes our grey and darkens up when lubricated but leaves a bit of a shine. Is flat black out of the question? Does it provide any real corrosion resistance value over say... parkerizing (and I understand parkerizing just holds lubricant)? Any controversy or debate on DLC like nitriding?
