MBH renewal

[BBQmedic]

I'm so happy with the way my black MBH cleaned up that I wanted to post a couple of pictures
I've washed it a couple times since I got it but last week I decided to try wiping it down with Pam as it was very grey looking.
I also put some new finish on the handle which I had thought was too far gone to bother with.
Also cleaned up the legs, etc with steel wool.
What a difference!
I apologize, I didn't have a very good before picture but here ya go anyway....

And after

I'm sure someone here has a spare pan for you!  Hopefully someone will chime in and you can work out some sort of deal.

Thanks, this kettle isn't anything special but it's still my favorite

Vintage black is always special! I just came into another one myself and I cant wait to go to work on it. Nice job!

Looks great! I haven't tried my hand at restoring a kettle, but restore old motorcycles and other stuff for fun. If you wanted to spruce it up a little more you could try dipping the triangle (or anything with rust on it for that matter) in Evaporust and then hit it with fine-ish sandpaper, and then maybe some polish. Fine sandpaper on the legs and maybe some polish would probably look great too.

Sandpaper blocks I like. All different grades: http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-10-fine-grade-aluminum-oxide-sanding-sponges-46753.html
Polish I like: http://www.autosol.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1824
I'm not trying to thread jack, just throwing out a few suggestions. Here's a vise I did not too long ago using some of the same methods.
