Current state-Nice!
Sand blasted and spray painted- Really Nice!!
A local farm repair or body shop would blast the metal for little cost, being there is nothing they could damage on it.
If your not set up to do so yourself.
BAR, We call it "Painter in a Can"

The problem as I see it then is, one wants to see the whole rack full...45s and all. Then you're in dutch with the wife for procuring every gov't model in the surrounding states...
That's like me...
I see now that it's numbered.
Room for revolvers?
I'd give Rubberized bed liner/marine deck paint a thought as for a finish. Many color options and the encased rubber would be easy on stocks and gun metal. Note of caution- these are expensive.
You can save big $$ by making your own.
First: Spray can metal primer the stand, A quick dusting coat will do because you'll be going back over it with the 'Crumb' primer.
Next: Use a metal primer and mix cork or non abrasive rubber ground up to a fine texture (known as Crumb) mixed in it.
A Little Crumb goes a long way. Apply this by brush and roller. This Crumb primer could be sprayed with the right set up, but few have these 'Hopper' type spray guns around.
FINISH PAINT: You can use Spray Cans- Then finish SPRAY a Satin finish oil based Rustoleum in the color of your choice.
Save left over Finish Paint for any touch-ups down the road.
Just sharing some thoughts. I'm a retired painter and tend to make small projects time consuming. :thup:
While your at it, why not PIMP it out and have it spinning with neon lights? :rolleyes:

I never heard of crumb. Sounds interesting as ihave a deck repair coming up with my Santana 525.
I have HVLP guns set up for base and cleat. I also have some guns set up with hog needles for shooting 2k type catalyzed primers. You think that needle can flow this crumb stuff?
