Hey fellow vendors,

Okay so I purchased 2 double head bulk vending machines from someone over the net, the machines came with cheap plastic bases and all 4 of them cracked during shipping. I found sturdy metal bases at a pretty reasonable price to replace these 4, however they need some touching up. I have to repaint the outsides which should not be a problem (though if you guys and gals have some suggestions for the type of paint you use that would be great).

The main problem I have is how to get the oxidation off of the shoot, it is in plain site and no self respecting person would buy a product with a shoot like that.. I know I cannot paint it because that would obviously wear easily and I would risk the paint coming off on the product (not good for the customer or myself). So any ideas or solutions from someone who has dealt with this problem before?

if you send a picture might be able to better help you...
but sand blasting at a local body shop would bring a metal body almost back new...
