Sure, I used a paint stripper first to remove the old paint. It took multiple tries to get it all off and it still left a little on there. I then used a die grinder with a scotch bright pad to remove the stubborn stuff. This kind of scuffed it up but it was easy to polish out with a polishing pad on the die grinder. All the polishing pads, scotchbright pads and such were purchased at Harbor Freight. Cheap but effective. After that I finished it by hand with a terry towel and Mothers Mag polish.
