Preval aeresol paint sprayers

[USMC Vet]

Just wondering if anyone else has used one of these paint sprayers for any smaller jobs. It's an aerasol sprayer with a jar that you put your paint in. I used one last night to paint my bottle door hinge and it works very good. The results are better than I had expected. You can buy them at auto parts stores, Ace Hardware, etc; for like $ 5.00.  The brand name is Preval. Ideal for doing smaller jobs.

I've seen them but never tried it.

Yep, I've used one before with excellent results. I was in the process of restoring my Seeburg M100B Jukebox and was looking to paint my record rack and selection mechanism mounting rails. I planned on using regular spray paint out of the can but wanted to look around for alternative methods first.

I stopped by my local auto paint store and the owner recommended the aerosol rig. He scanned my part and matched the paint exactly and mixed some paint up for me. It  was easy to use and mixes exactly like regular auto paint.

BTW: Anything in green excluding the turntable frame and tone arm is what was re-painted with the aerosol set-up.

It's kinda hard to tell in the picture but the results were great super glossy with no runs or sags or any other problems. If I remember correctly I sprayed 3 or 4 light coats.

When it comes to large stuff like an entire soda pop machine body, I would be hard pressed to used this method. For smaller jobs like compressor deck restorations and small individual parts it works great.

Interesting.

I to have used these for small jobs/parts with good results. Sprays a little differently than a conventional setup, but if you have a very small job, you won't waste paint. If I have a lot of same color parts that need painting, I would go with a conventional spray job setup; one or two small parts works out great for the Prevail sprayer.

Great looking Juke Brian!... I have a Seeburg G unit, all original, haven't wanted to restore yet!
Thanks

Thanks. G's are super nice! I really like the animation in the pilasters. If your machine is in good shape, I'd leave it alone. No reason to tear it apart!

About the only thing that I'd mess with on a juke in the condition that your's is in is the Master Amplifier and the Master Selection Receiver. I re-cap those no matter what.  

P.S. - Sorry for hijacking this thread.  '>

I'd like to get the Amp redone / recapped, but I know nothing about how to go about that and so I have just left it alone, It plays and sounds fine, being it's a 1953 machine. if there is a relatively easy way to accomplish recapping or whatever I'd appreciate if you could contact me and we could talk about it?
Thanks

Many years ago when I wanted my amp restored on my B.  I went to the Juke box newsgroup. There I found a guy who was always responding to rookies posts and helping everyone out. I finaly shipped mine to him and didn't hear from him for months. I kind of expected that. But when months turned into 7 months I went back to the Juke boards and found the guy hadn't posted in weeks. I left a message on the boards and someone Emailed me back that the gentleman had passed. I was beside myself and didn't know what to do.
  I went ahead and sent an Email to the address of the man and low and behold His sister was going through the emails. She arranged to ship it back (It was prepaid).  It had been completed. It worked great but it was really sad knowing this Juke Box mentor had completed the last amp and it was mine. The sister showed real class sending it back as She was getting the rest of his affairs settled. His name was Tom D. and if anybody remembers that guy he was quite colorful. Anyway your B looks just like mine other than the cover. P.S. if anybody in thye Midwest area (Shipping too costly) wants to trade soda machines for a G or H let me know!
P.S. We used to use those sprayers for duplicating textured finishes on trim and bumper covers on cars.
