Removing oxidized lead from jig before painting

Recommended Posts

I should know this, but it has never happened to me before. A wjile ago - probably 8 months or so - I poured some jigs and I was going tompaint them like I usually do. Unfortunately, I have not had any time to work on them, because I got REALLY busy in my job. Now I have a bunch of jigs sitting around where the lead is a bit discolored because of oxidation. Should these be cleaned before I paint them? If so, how can I clean them?

 

Thanks,

Pete

 

P.S. BTW, is it my imagination, or have there been changes on this site? I have not been here in quite a while.

Pete forgot to mention this but once your jigs turn grey, you will never get them to turn shiny again like they were freshly poured.
