Well troopers, I've been waiting to clean and paint my front mounted 75 ton tank chain, and here it is done ! I used Muriatic Acid for only 40 minutes, then rinsed with water, then a bath in baking soda. Then a mist of FLAT BLACK...What a difference... I have others to clean too, and once cleaned, I will display them on my bomb crane rail at the shows...
