Hi Robert986
Different parts had a different finish. For the gearbox, I didn’t mediablast as it was too big for my machine, but I cleaned it with degreaser, then wire bushes, then used a lot of carb and brake cleaner, scotch pads, then I gave it a light coat of alloy wheel silver paint. One year it is still holding up. With hindsight, I probably sent this out to be media and vapour blasted then had a anti-corrosion coating applied.
For other parts such as suspension parts I did media blast with soda and fine glass beads (taken care for smooth finished areas) then applied either silver alloy paint or anti-corrosion coating. For the exhaust,, this was a couple of hours spent using a fine scotch brite wheel then a polishing wheel with a polishing compound like autosol
I need to do the front suspension and brakes so I will share what I do, again not to say this is the “right” way to do this but just what I did/do
