Yes! but I would have to buy a compressor, gun and soda first and find somewhere to keep them (short of space).
Just cleaned up a sub chassis that had rust and electrolytic leak damage on top. Used abrasion and the old Phospho acid and spray painted it and the main chassis + a metal bottom with Hammerite smooth. Now what was I thinking ? Really dumb going to all that trouble as I can get it all plated in "old nickel" (looks very original and not custom car) for £25 and its far better. All the rust / corrosion is killed, it never comes off, solder tags bond properly without cleaning off paint or masking first and dropped solder does no damage.
I may still have it done ... talking myself into it. It came about as I didnt do a proper assessment first. I didnt reckon to take off the Ct8 valve bases but had to in the end, just too filthy. And I had already sprayed the main chassis first ... so continued down the unsatisfactory road.
