They were raw cast iron from memory.
I painted mine with POR15 cast iron paint. Looks amazingly real and has lasted 5 years without fail. Love that stuff.

KBS Rust Blast then they are ready for etch. If you CRC them it will stop rust but then you have to clean it off to etch.

Yeah thanks Clay and Bat.
I reckon the painter will prefer rust blast on them rather than oil.

Hi Bat,
Rust Blast is a metal treatment solution made by KBS. There are many other brands and names out there that stop the rust flash that occurs and leaves it ready for painting.
