[welderr]

I was at a tractor show today with a flea market and picked up this old change gear rack.Im going to see If it will clean up without destroying the paint or the lettering otherwise I will leave it alone

That is incredible!

I think you should leave it as-is. The aging on it very much fits the look.

Looks like it belongs in a Fallout game.

That is a beautiful specimen. The finish is perfect... be very carefull trying to clean it.

you mentioning about "cleaning it up" .. reminds me of the people whom have come on the "Antiques Roadshow".. with those rare copper lamps.. that they polished up,.. yeeup.. they polished 50K dollars of value right out of them cuz they removed the patina.. i would say.. leave it as is..

A magic eraser would make it look like new... if that's what you want. I like the patina. It's a lot better than throwing your change gears in a tub.

Edit: It may have ended up in Fallout, but it started first in Rhapsody!

Non gloss clear coat?

I think there is a difference between grime and patina
