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.

Bat I think Marty means that you can just hit it with the Rust blast straight off the bat (sorry, pun) and leave it till you hand over to the painter. Either way the wheels will have to be prepped, but either way will stop the rust film.

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.

Be careful about storing the zinc on top of each other like that especially the gold zinc, or you will scratch the crap out of it. Handle it carefully for a while. Was the sway bar a signature ? & if so was it easy enough to get, could you please tell us the cost. Thanks, Gary.
