Without the time to find a thread tap to chase paint from those threads, I once took an old axle of the same threading I had and used a Dremel to run a few notches across the threads (without distorting them) to create a hanger thread chaser. Wouldn't straighten up wankered threading, but it sure does a number on overspray in the hanger.
