Wow!! That looks great. Is that hammertone or powder coat?
Very well done.

I pretty much took it all apart and "lightly" blasted the parts. Used Rust-Oleum Stainless Steel for the lower metal and gave others a light coat of Krylon Short Cuts "Gold Leaf". Also had to touch up some of the silver with Rust-Oleum Alum. Just had to be careful and not paint coin paths etc.. Think the Gold Leaf is remarkable to the original metal color. Alittle oil and a few stickers from Steve E. Ready to go....

Very nice! Yes, avoid the coin-path! I like the looks of the "gold-leaf" paint! I'll have to pick some up!

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

WOW!! That looks awesome! Yeah, that gold leaf paint really does the trick. Let us know how it holds up.
I know plating is the "historically correct" way to restore a mech but if that apint holds up that a great looking way to do it.

Thanks for all the compliments. Will let you all know if the paint starts to fall off  '> I'm pretty confidant it won't.
