Im going with an AMK kit and will reuse original hardware where needed if its usable. Here's some hardware I did with green piramids and water. These were done in short time(3-4 hours), they can be almost spotless if you leave them in overnight. I just paint the heads with a zinc spray and oil/antisieze on the threads. Holding up well in my car. Did some heater clips and mounting nuts. Same deal here, honestly only a couple three hours in the vibrator. Actully 4.5 hours. Look at the time stamp on the pictures. Always in a hurry and I rush them. Not perfect but plenty good enough for me for my driver type cars.Clean and easy to do, I rinse them in my kitchen sink. lol Better than trying to do it by hand. Still wet from the rinse, dry em up and refinish any way you want.

Thanks Shells are for real delicate parts and no I don't think water would help.

I don't like to let it run for days and wear off the entire finish because I only have used paint so far to protect. some items I don't refinish either. Oil them up and install. That's as clean as I get them, there wet in that picture dry em(blow dry, although I like the oven idea) and paint the heads. BTW I have used it to strip paint off of some real old detailed brass hinges and door pulls. It worked great and never hurt the hardware at all. Looked brand new every nook and cranny. Used the same piramids and vibrator. Very handy.
