I bought this plane a the flea market a couple of years ago and have never done anything to it. Yesterday I was trying to get my cheapo sand blaster to work and used the plane to try it out. The "Black Beauty" may have been a little course for the plane but it's what I had. I blast the inside of the body, lever cap, frog and chip breaker. It removed the heavy rust but I don't know if I need to do anything else before paint. Should the lever cap be painted? I have some walnut I plan on using to attempt a matching tote and knob.
