Hit it with 80 grit or st the very least, a red Scotchbrite pad, degrease and lay two coats of epoxy on it.




Don't touch it after blasting. It sure don't need to scotchbrited or even sanded after blasted. You will just make it worse if you try to do anything besides painting it after blasting.

Blow it off and cover it with epoxy primer.
