First couple of coats are on.
Cleaned up but unpainted one on the left, painted one on the right.
Looking good!

I used 'straight to rust' paint so just gave them a thorough cleaning and a quick rub down with wet and dry before spraying them up.
I've got a spare set if you want them- £30. Pistons removed, spllt, cleaned. Ready for paint, new seals etc. The pistons could do with being replaced but some are useable.
