I think I found a new way(for me) to clean, derust, and paint parts with zero time and effort. Time spent was in the painting process, which I would've done anyway. I didn't use a high build primer, which would have removed the pits, but I did use a etching primer. So, for me, I will be saving my compressor for my air tools
Keep in mind that this build is not for show, just a clean daily driver. That is why I don't put the time and effort into making parts purdy, just no rust!
Everything is assembled with anti-seize, I won't be around to take it apart, but the next owner will thank me
