Is it ok to use the original breaker strips.They don't seem to be very brittle or any cracks. 81B. I was gonna get some of that paint for plastic and try that. Or do most of you guys just get new ones ? Thanks !

If they are in decent shape with no breaks, or cracks and not too "Gunked" up.. I've been able to put them on my buffing wheel with some plastic polish compound and polish them up like new... just keep it moving as you don' want to heat up the plastic and warp it.

I'm having Pat Pixley make some new ones up for me, should have them in a few days and I'll let you know how they look and work out!
