No secret. Hot wash to remove all grease etc. Acid dipped to remove all old paint / oil. Another hot wash. Soda blast and hand finish to remove any old corrosion that may be left in the nooks and crannies. Painted with engine enamel, air cured for 24 hours then final cure in the oven. The good outcome is definitely due to the prep.

Julie, was final painting farmed out or DIY?
