    Go visit your local machine shop and tell him to glass bead it for you. It will look like brand new when you get it back. You can either use it as is, or give it coat of clear

    Thanks, I couldn't decide on to have it glass beaded or not and use a hot tank then painting it.

    I clean them in the solvent tank so there grease free, and then blast them with walnut shells...

    Looks like new...

    Hope this helps... Crash

    That's what I did too, clean & blast and put a coat of clear and 3 years later still looks like new. Thanks,

    I've heard walnut shells is the way to go. Think that's the way I will go. Thanks everyone
