The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop after dipping, then what, advice wanted

A few more acid dip photos. These pieces have so many areas that are too hard to properly sand clean and questionable whether they would survive sand blasting. Completely happy even though the battery box is severely pitted. New ones are cheap but I think I will repair this one. Not even sure it is original equipment???? You can see the hood cowl is just perfect as it was not rusted.
