So I only had one of the lights at home to experiment on, but I am so impressed! You purists out there might think these still look gross, but I'm really happy with the results. I left this soaking in vinegar for four days, and thought it hadn't worked, but when I pulled it out and rinsed it off most of the rust just fell off.

Now I would use steel wool to get the rest off and have a more shiny surface. If you have a wire wheel on a drill or bench grinder that works faster. Then clear coat. Appy a couple coats and thats it.

Wow, excellent. If anyone here needs a couple of good bases for the lights I still have mine that were from my Shasta. I wasn't gonna bother posting it for free section but you never know. Mine have been painted over but no rust at all. They are so costly on ebay used and not even in good shape.
