Do any of y’all have any suggestions as to how to clean these parts and get them clean enough to prime and paint? Thanks!!

Hey Mike,
A large container, wire brush(s) and large paint brushes. I use diesel fuel.
Cheap , good smell (yeah...) !
Have a cover for container, so when thru, can cover and reuse over/over.
Works for me...as recently as this week.
Oh...and good pair(s) of rubber gloves.
