Looks good Erik. You should sand the surface rust off those dogbones now and paint them. ;)

Thanks for the suggestion, ill do that! What grit you think, start with like 600 then 800 then 1000 then just keep them wiped down after that? On my wheels i started with like 300-400 or somthing, but they were a wreck! And just the outside square part? or how much should i polish?

I would just polish the edges of the tips around the outlets unless you want to spend a lot of time on them.

^Shitty picture, but you get the idea. It's supposed to be nice/sunny here the entire weekend, so I'll take some good pictures of them then.

EDIT: 600 grit to start with should work great.
