I was very dissapointed to see that the carriage bolts had raised lettering on them.  Anybody sand these down before?  What did you use?

I put the bolts in a drill and then faced it down onto some sandpaper. It did the trick

Okay, had some time to work on this over the weekend.  After using the Soy Gel to strip most of the paint off the control panel, I hit it again with the wire wheel on the drill.  This easily removed any remaining paint and glue.

Nice and clean


Next up was to stop the rust from coming back.  I used Rustoleum satin black paint.

Turned out really nice.  Sure looks better than this:

Nope.  With the Rustoleum products you don't need primer.

Lazy ! ;)
