    Full House project. I was skeptical that I'd ever get the rusted levelers out of these legs, but the front 25" legs are hard to find, so I wanted to try.
    A 24 hour soak in Evaporust, a little encouragement from the wire brush on my bench grinder, a few minutes to let a shot of Kroil soak in, and my vice grips did the trick.
    The chrome finish on all the legs was shot, so I used Rust-Oleum "Hammered" grey. I might re-chrome them at a later date, but they'll work for now. Evaporust works wonders.

    Quoted from dasvis:

    Rustoleum makes a satin nickel paint that looks pretty good.

    They also offer a silver "hammered" style of paint that I like. It looks pretty good on rusted legs that have the chrome finish flaking off. If you want your machine to look "okay" - on the cheap, then I'd spray the door to match. Just my 2 cents.
