Hi Don:
A year or two ago I refurbished the seat rails of my '69 TR6. I bead
blasted them and then primed and painted them with a Rustoleum "Industrial
Grey" spray paint that I bought at the local hardware store. Like yours
they were corroded. After bead blasting I hit them pretty hard with
compressed air to remove all the glass beads from the sliding mechanism.
After painting I used a spray silicone lubricant on the tracks. They still
slide nicely and look good too.
Good luck with your project!
