P.P.G. doesn't recommend use of metal cleaner (acid) on sandblasted cast iron. Acid seems to aggressivly attack the open surface, leaving behind a powdery dusty coating that is hard to remove even with wax and grease remover. Any dust left behind and primed or painted over could cause a paint failure. Dont know about wire brushing, but if the cast is opened, would think that effect would be the same. Acid or metal cleaner (No.579) should be used on any sheet metal, followed by a water rinse, dry, and a wax and grease remover, dry, then a rust inhibitive primer. Lacquer thinner can remove grease and oil but also has a chance of lifting or curling the edges of any of the old finish causing further paint problems. Thinner always was a dangerous product and nowadays is real expensive. Bodyshop owner from 1968 using only PPG Products. Tractor restorer since 2002. Other good paint manufacturers too, and jobber can supply you with a refinish schedule.
