Found a set of these in my garage, although they look nice, they had a lot of corrosion under the paint.

I sandblasted them after work Monday this week, took some time, as the paint was thick 
Tuesday they were glass blasted, at a friends place, and yesterday, they where painted with zinc spray and primer
