Stoner Junior finally Restored...

[SIGNGUY]

Jim,
The paint does look awesome.. did you spray it out of a gun or can?  I find it hard to get it consistant out of a can... love the hammered finish... I'm thinking of doing mine in a burnt orange hammered look... I saw an original like that ,looked cool.

Signguy,

I used cans of blue Hammerite Paint on mine, which at first didn't look the best, but what made all the difference is once I was done spraying a few coats, I then sanding it with 600grit sand paper then sprayed it with auto clear coat. It  gave it a nice  smooth consistence finish, advice I got from a auto painter.

John, I bought the paint in quarts and sprayed via a HVLP w/ a large tip, 1.8

Yeah you can order it by the quart or by the gallon (way to much) 

[SIGNGUY]

cool, thats what I figured, I can get it in quart sizes as menards.. and have done it too in the past both ways... HVLP gun results much better than rattle can for large areas...

Ray--that machine turned out good--looks a lot better than it did when I sold it to you.  Post a few more pictures so we can check out your work!

So are you  saying Jim that your restoration is a little ahead of mine?

ps  I love the "squirrel cage" that was used in outdoor machines to keep the mice out.
