So paint it Will be...i'll cure it in an oven I got for 50$...I Will pre-cook the parts for off-gasing just to make the painting easier and more durable.
But for now I am cleaning...god damn I hate this...especially the baked on gaskets like on this part...
I was able to take it off using a box-cutter blade and a lot of solvent and then steel wool...took an hour or so...
On a brighter note, I rigged up a DIY media blasting cabinet using a plastic bin, some Lexan...etc.
Works pretty good, Sand blasted a couple covers...
The sandblasting gave the aluminium a rough finish which will be good for the paint to come...
...still a lot more cleaning to do...
