Thanks for the advice. I was going to use a die grinder with a buffing pad to get inside. Heat is the main concern with stainless. If it gets to hot the nickel will oxidize and release carbon and it will gold or blue. Then I would have to wash down with phosphoric acid and then sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the acid and start over. I will try the polish after I strip the paint as suggested and see if this works. If not I guess Calcium Aluminate abrasive will probably get the mirror finish. Thanks again to all.
