Dremels often have good shining/cleaning attachments.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749246.page GMT "polishing" Old Metal Models?
However, you could try placing it in a box part filled with sand and giving it a good shake. Or use a stiff bristled brush.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749251.page GMT "polishing" Old Metal Models? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749266.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749266.page GMT "polishing" Old Metal Models?

I'm just worried that itll show through the paint or will come out "Dingy" looking. It sort of is like an old penny]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749330.page GMT "polishing" Old Metal Models?

That is what primer is for ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749390.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749390.page GMT "polishing" Old Metal Models?
If you want to remove it, white metal surface oxidation comes off easily - no need for power tools or chemicals. Just give it a light rubbing with fine steel wool or a brass bristled brush (both cheap, readily available at any hardware store). A quick wash to remove lingering dust and oils from handling and they're ready to prime.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591153/6749639.page GMT
