Aren't they almost always rusted?  I cleaned the rust off using a dremel 
too with the flexible shaft.  I used two different brass brush bits. 
One was disk shaped and the other was conical.  If you do go this route, 
buy extra bits.  You *must* wear safety glass since the brush wheels 
will shed and the bristles will fly off at you and anything else nearby. 
  Also, I recommend a dust mask since it will kick up rust dust and 
third hand smoke.  If you want to avoid painting, stick with the brass 
brush wheels.  There are some abrasive wheels for dremel, but they will 
not shine as well as the brass wheels and may strip the chrome.  I still 
need to go after a couple of tough spots with a jeweler's screw driver 
to clean some rust out of some of the grooves.  I am aware that this 
will not prevent future rust, but I am hopeful that in its current 
environment that is a low risk.

This may work for you, depending on how bad the rust is on yours.  When 
I get a chance I will try to get some before and after pictures up so 
that you can use that for comparison.
