Hi,
I was lucky enough to pick up a nice pair of M70s off craigslist complete with trumpet stands (one dead woofer, but replacement is on the way).
The stands are aluminum I believe. As you can see in the photos they have some discoloration. They are still smooth if you run your hand over the discoloration.
What would be the best way to go about tidying these up?
Many thanks,
H
Using a rotation sander (don't know the english word) or a repaint job?
Isn't the alu anodized? If so you can't just sand it, can you?
As far as I know not or else I was not able to do it.
Hi Leslie!
So did you spray a protective coat of varnish then, to prevent re-oxydation?
No I did not use varnish but a primer before spraying the actual paint. But you could use varnish afterwards, why not. Did not do that because this paint was a sort of metallic/silver so I was not sure about the result when using varnish.
You are not going to be able to get the original finish so I would agree with Leslie that cleaning and then spraying would appear to be the answer. Should be very similar if done properly.

Is the replacement original?
link?
I think you'd have to rotate the whole trumpet actually, so place it on a lathe and brush it, not sand it.
