[Steve149]

My 149 is in decent shape but suffers the ills of time and surface rust on various locations. Two in particular; the hydraulic lift control handle and the Front PTO clutch lever both suffer the surface rust dilemma. My question is and correct me if I am wrong, the clutch lever appears to have been chrome at one point? I could be wrong on this, but they both work fine grips are in good condition and I would like to restore her to former glory.
I was thinking on the lines of cleaning them up and just painting them black, but not sure if this is the best way to go

Help!!!!!
