Hello. I have a rather "road-tested" 100 seies 1x15 bass cab that i bought used for dirt cheap a while ago ($75; yeah, I was amazed too). Someone had recovered the cab in new black crinkle tuck and roll and did a pretty good job, but they also removed the logo and painted the ports and wheels black. I spent hours working on it, but i got all of the paint off with a wire brush and two grades of steel wool (00 and 0000). They are nice and shiny now, but i noticed when i look at the ports on my other cab (2x15 Jensen) that they seem to have a lacquer over the metal (it's easy to tell because they yellowed a little). Should i put a lacquer over the bare metal to avoid corrosion, or should i leave it alone? Was the lacquer just there to add shine since the ports look like they are stainless steel or aluminum? Thanks!
