You can acheive great improvement in the "cleanliness" of the lugs, but don't wipe it out by powdercoating, unless you can find a guy who appreciates it and can go thinner....
+1 on the Dremel. If they are the "fancy" Nervex lugs, the Dremel will help you navigate the complex curves. When working with tools that remove metal..go slow. You can always remove more metal..you can't add it back if you overdo it.
