Many of the Aluminum mags had a surface conversion process done to them under whatever finish was on the surface. Alodine was common. It made the Aluminum look yellowish. Any refinishing that you do to them, will require surface preparation to look good and be durable. Abrasive blasting is the best method. Yes, you can sand them with fine sand paper but that's pretty labor intensive. $25 a mag for refinishing by a pro is pretty expensive, even if it does include return shipping! Keep yer powder dry, Mac.
