Ai!........

sandblasting or bead blasting is cheap and very effective. Motorcycle shops typically have a small both bead blaster. The pitting will remain of course, but i use an automotive zinc chromate primer which goes on fairly thick and wet sand til the surface is smooth. I then follow u with the top coat.

Also very highly recommended is powder coating. Extremely tough and heat resistant, it has great fill properties. I took my most corroded ST-70 chassis to be blasted and powder coated. While the deep pits were visible when viewed from an angle, nothing as visible from three feet away.
