Has anybody actually stripped a Technics face plate plinth back to base metal for re-finishing - if so what is the best way to tackle it and any tips to be aware of?
I have deck which has some raised paint and I want to tidy it up. I know there is a firm advertising on eBay but they appear to shot blast which can be seen in their photos in close up. This leaves a slightly pitted finish and I'd prefer a nice smooth finish.
I have considered painting as an easy option as I could just rub down the problem areas and then just re-paint. However, I want to do a nice job and plan to remove all the paint and then either get it anodised or more probably powder coated. As long as I can get down to the base metal I can get the face and edges polished prior to coating.
I've seen a youtube of an American doing something similar but to be honest he just makes a mess of it and leaves much of the undercoat intact and then uses paint to hide the mess.
