Lloyd - thanks, I know where to concentrate my excavating. What process are you using to prepare this - vapor blast ? Really superior -

Steve, what you see in the photo is the result of dry media blasting only using fine glass bead at 80PSI. The fine bead produces a near-polished surface which sets up well for paint. Following media blasting I'll sand the piece with 400 grit paper to "knock down" the surface then mask off the GM part number and manufacturers stamp before a thorough wipe down with prep sol followed by a light coat of epoxy primer.
