Jughead Posted July 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2020 Hi I have a old pair of Minilites that I'd like to refurbish. They're dull and corroded. What are my options? Pros & Cons? Someone told me I should paint them...Really?!?! Can't I polish? Here are some pics...Please lemmee know your thought y'all! Thanks!

grannyknot Posted July 21, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2020 You could bead blast them and spray a clear coat but I think wet or vapor blasting would bring them out very nicely. Wet blasting doesn't remove any detail from the lettering and leaves a soft shine whereas straight bead blasting will soften the edges of the detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted November 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 16, 2020 Are real Minilights aluminum? I thought they were magnesium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
