It's not Tung oil but rather it's a tinted gun-oil finish. Here's a post which might help: What is TGN?.

Hope this helps.

I really doubt that they would accept a non-standard part and finish it.
They are not set up for these types of requests and there is a liability
factor, as well. Also, the factory is very busy for the next several months.
You could ask your local G&L dealer to see if it is possible.
