Mine was a mess also, took it to Romax in Stockton who powder coated it for £14, it looks better than new.

I might get mine powder coated -- but how much better is powder coating than smooth hamerite UNLESS you can send them your crabby old stand and THEY do all the cleaning too. Do they or do you have to clean it up (to a certain extent first ).
Do they do some sort of acid bath or shot blast first -- if so then sounds good

Took mine off the bike and wiped the grease off, thats all, took it down to Stockton and picked it up two days later.
Romax have a great reputation in the North East, do a superb job on car alloys too. A friend is restoring a KR1S and had Romax do the frame, it's better than new.
