It is a real project to redo pot metal. So it is costly.
If it was me i would get the repops. there is a place in Tenn that does real good work "advance plating" Pauls is also good maybe the best.
One thing is even though it may not have much blistering ad-fter striped it may have lots that need filled.
The real problem is when the filling and sanding is done it will lose some detail unless the place is realy good at it.
I could go on
but there is some good reading here.
