Tom, thanks. I saw the same brishes at McMaster, looks like they are
selling yours. Congrats. I ended up using a Harbor Freight abrasive
blast gun, which did not work ideally, but was "good enough".

And I was just about to jump in and say NOT to use any abrasive
blasting media till there was no other choice, because it has an
annoying habit of going where it isn't wanted and causing problems
with the equipment.

The Marines had a Huey crash from a seized gearbox, and they found
about a dozen others with failing gearboxes from the cause - walnut
shell blasting media in the oil lines to the transmission bearings...

As of right now, I primered it with McMaster's 94% "cold galvanizing"
paint. The can is about a year old and the paint is showing some signs
of aging, so I am glad that I could use it for something.

After this cold galvanizing dries up, I will put oil based "John Deere
Green" paint on it, just for the kicks. I think that it will look nice
and unobtrusive in John Deere green color.

Is that pretty close to the original color? To some purists, the
'wrong' color means No Sale.
