Just picked up a new-to-me (aka used) brush guard for my truck and the mounting brackets, while solid, have a good bit of surface rust as well as peeling powder coat. I'm definitely going to recondition them before install and thinking about going with POR-15 since it worked really well on a machete I tried it on years ago. Is there a better product out there? Any suggestions on the easiest way to strip the existing powder coating (where it isn't flaking off)?
On a separate note, the brush guard is in good overall shape and is supposed to be some combination of stainless and chrome- but it has some sruface rust in places. Any harm in trying something like naval jelly to see if it'll work before getting the elbow grease and steel wool out?
