plug restoration..

welp... today we picked up our instant plug collection in a box. and decided instead of trying to make our own this year, we will learn the ins and outs by restoring most of these. some need new hard ware, some need paint, all needed new hooks. it's going to make for one hell of a project between now and this up coming season. spent all night taking hooks off.

you couldn't believe how hyped we are for this.

now onto a question... in this bundle we received a bunch of little plastic poppers. pretty sure they are little atoms. some are usable with some tlc. others not so sure. but the paint on all of them is pretty much a no deal. so how should we go about removing the old paint? same method as with wood? or should we just lightly sand it to clean it off/smooth it out and paint over the old coat?
