Took the rings off the chainset and sent it to the shot blasters along with the stem. It comes back a milky white matt colour.
But after just 20 minutes with went'ndry and metal polish it starts to come up real nice. Obviously a bit more elbow grease is required, but I'm not after a mirror finish - it would look a bit odd. Some patina to the metal will be nice I think.
