[QUOTE="ober51, post: 140559, member: 1354"] If you are painting, I wouldnt get it shiny. I would just scuff it up, then sand it with a lighter grip, use self etching primer for a coat or two, then the top coat. As for the bottom, I would try and remove all that "goo." If it is a pain to get off and is thick, try a heat gun, usually comes right off. 10 bucks at harbor freight, great purchase and perfect for heat shrink later. If it's just another layer of paint-like stuff, strip it/wheel it/etc and then scuff and steel flex in my opinion (after bucking any loose rivets). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
