Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor

Thanks Pat, I used Rustolem Hammertone silver, after removing the sliders & springs, & sanding down any rough spots & corrosion on the shelves & liner, I degreased them (dried) & sprayed it on in three light coats to prevent running, this is pretty tough stuff,

(the owner didn't want to pop for the extra bucks to have it re-plated)

I don't understand why people would put a lot of money into restoring a machine and not go the distance.
How much more would a simple mech like that cost to do?
Anyway, nice job John - I too like the Hammertone look and durability.
