It's not a restoration project but some things just need to be done.
Gave it a few layers undersealing with a brush and also a stonechip layer.
And putting it all back together...

Hi, thanks!
First used paint remover, had to do it 4 or 5 times before al the paint was gone ( maybe my product wasn't strong enough)
Then used a soft steel brush to remove te last bits of paint and it also made the aluminium shine some more.
Used metal degreaser before painting. And painted the letters with metal paint.
Then used a sanding block and wet sandpaper grit 1000 to gave the top a brushed aluminium look. You could polisch it to...
