Best way to clean and restore Cooler Hard Lines
 

I'm getting ready to install my used Hard lines and oil cooler. They have a bunch of undercoating and black paint on them. I would like them to look new when I install them.

1: First way to clean and remove paint and undercoating
2: Final Finishing? Paint or leave as they are?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

id just sand them down with emry cloth for plumbing and maby polish them with somthing so there shiny brass. i wouldnt paint them that would cut down on the cooling. just my .02

Thanks!!

I had great results with lacquer thinner and scotchbrite! It took off a few coats of old paint... revealed the brass underneath...douse it, let it sit, and start rubbing. Make sure you have adequate ventilation
