I really deviated from my normal restoration on this machine!
The machine is completely powder-coated in Sparkle Silver and Sparkle Blue
When the machine is in the sun, it looks incredible ! ! !
I posted a somewhat close-up with the hope of showing the blue sparkle...

Let me know what everyone thinks...

Looks great Jim,

Was that machine in need of any body work and if so , what did you do for that prior to powder...

I use that silver sparkle on my 81's.. shelve,s tub, etc.. it's a great look!

Thanks John!
And no body work was required. There is a filler that contains a lot of aluminum that is supposed to handle oven temps, however, I have experimented and results will vary...

Shane,
Since this machine is a "Square Top", I wanted to do something to help the overall look... The bolt holes are always on top, so I figured...  Well, you see where this ended up...

Thanks everyone for the compliments!
