Great write up, thanks for sharing!
Back to the lights, they come up like new and I'm about to do mine. Any tips on rust removal, prep, prime and paint?
Not a lot to them. As far as process... When it comes to shapes like that I always use scotchbrite pads. Red to get the surface rust off. Then grey to smooth things out. Wax and grease remover to get all the nooks and crannys clean.
As far as the trim rings and surround trim I use very fine steel wool and then polish them with my bench buffer using the appropriate paste for the material. Have to be really really careful with the surround trim. One misstep and you will wind up with spaghetti.
Oh and pay attention to the lights and their order with the buckets... The buckets are indeed different. On one of them I got them backwards. The plastic adjusters can be installed by hand or in my case I used a drill and a bit to make the process faster. They have a drive on the inside of the "handle". Go slow... very slow.
