I did the same on five of our 03's at Tahoma National. Took them apart one at a time so we would still have rifles to cover services.
After sanding and hot ironing out some dimples. I refinished with Formby's. I gave all the metal surfaces a good wipe down with T-9. That's the stuff Boeing invented for metal protection.
Hated to leave that organization. I was very proud to honor our fellow warrior's on to their next mission.
