Rear Sectional Weights

   Howdy,
   Just got shipped in 8 rear sectional weights for my One Seventy. I never seen weights in this terrible condition! They were mostly black, no primer or paint, but the black was sl*g still on the weights from the foundry. First I tried hammer and chisel, then sand blasting. Blasting made it worst, like pot holes all over. So I took a 4 1/2 angle grinder to smooth them out a bit. Took 2 days to make them look a little decent. Had to fill holes with auto putty and a lot of primer! I painted a lot of weights never this bad. Always primer and paint on. Question is , how do these weights get out the foundry this way??

	So were these new remanufactured weights or have they been that way for 45 years?
