Here’s a shot of my oil lines before working on them. I would like be able save them since they are the original rubber lines. Whether or not they will leak is yet to be seen.

Here is after working on them. I flushed them out good and dragged a wire through with a bit of cloth on it. That was a little tricky with the corners but internally I think they’re pretty clean. Then I cleaned them up on the outside. I wire brushed the aluminum and then used aluminum brightener. I used Rubber Renew on the rubber and they cleaned up nice and got back some flexibility. Then I sanded and painted the steel parts. I think they look great.

I tried quite a few paints with no luck. The Eastwood’s Clear Zinc didn’t even look close. It came out a matte grey. Then I stumbled across a can of this laying around in our shop and tried it. I never would have guessed it would look so good.

It almost seemed too shiny but compared to some of my brighter zinc plate parts it is almost an exact match. I’m happy.
