OK, ya, I said no shows, but since I'm taking everything apart, I thought I might as well throw some paint on to spiff things up.
My question is after applying engine cleaner and power washing everything real well, 95% of the grime and gunk is gone, but some areas have some grease-looking residue. Should I find another solvent to apply and wash again, or just rub everything down with gasoline and pick up crocheting?
After it's all clean, can I just buy a case of Rustoleum Flat Black and (after taping and such) spray away, or should I do something else? As soon as I get the restoring books I'll probably find answers more easily, but we've got a nice weekend ahead here and I want to do something so it looks like I've done something.
