"Daisy" Mag Restoration - Well, Kinda!

[Dan in Pasadena]

I bought three used, damaged Daisy mags (200S?) for $30 off Craigslist a while ago. I didn't intend to ever install them on my truck - I used them for holding air hoses and extension cords in my garage, BUT I think they came out good enough that I'd have no problem using them. I might inthe future. Anyway...

Here's the best of them. Little damage but its dull, neglected and the spokes have corrosion on them:

I sanded the lip with wet/dry 220, then 1500 because that's what I had. Then I hit them with metal polish. The spokes I painted with gray primer I had around. The center cap was that plastic chrome and had gone green mostly. I sprayed it with Rustoleum bright metallic chrome paint.



Mounted a deep one and a shallow one yesterday. Just posted to let you see how I used them. But now I find myself surfing CL for one or two more to make a set. Never know when you'll get the urge to change shoes!
