    Steel wool, I have some of that out in the garage!LOL

    I will try that, I believe I may have some chrome paint as well.

    How to keep them looking good?  Clear paint or just leave them?

    Tom

    How about this one DB's, she got this thing I need to start working on it again too. :bricks1:

    just think what you could do if you had a blast cabnet that would hold that house.  :misbehaving:


    Any lights in that house?

    I'd love to have a blast cabinet, the next garage will be bigger and have more space for that stuff.

    Sounds nice is that for the wife or the kids?

    I sure like the small one I have just big enough for a BB head.

    as I said use a light coat of dull gold to imitate the zinc factory coating , the paint will seal it up
