Mine have lost their sheen, a very powdery finish.

It looks to me as if they were powdercoated with no clear top coat. There are some places where the paint is lifting off and it's definitely bare metal underneath, no primer etc.

I reckon if I were to restore them I'd need to media blast them and start from scratch.

I'm deliberating between repainting them body colour or just deleting them all together. I don't use them for anything, they're aesthetic only.
