I bought a motor a few years ago that had a very nice, shiny but slightly rough texture to the finish. I picked out what looked and felt like steel shot wedged down into the cooling fins on the head. Has anyone worked with steel shot, can it be done with a small blasting cabinet like Harbor Freight's and such? I picked up another motor from the UK that looks like it was rinsed with salt water, then set in the corner of a shed for a few years getting rained and snowed on. I'd cleaned it up with aluminum oxide but that turned it white and I'd like to get it looking like the first motor. Any suggestions? thanks
