I just got this one delivered today and haven't done any cleaning or polishing as of yet. I've gotten some recommendations in regard to the hardware (although I'm ALWAYS open to more suggestions!), but need some ideas in regard to cleaning the painted shell. I realize that in the pics the drum seems to have a "pink hue" to it. That's my camera, not the drum. It's basically an egg-shell colored drum.

I've also been considering the possibility of turning this one into a duco shell and was wondering whether or not that might be a wise idea and/or if any of you might happen to do that type of a project?

THANKS in advance for your time and your help!
