Title: Bottle Stack Makeover Post by: Big Blue on January 17, 2018, 01:22:27 pm I am thinking of taking apart a bottle stack and painting or powder coating. Is it a big pain? Any tricks? I tried searching and nothing popped up. If no one knows of a good thread I will start one here and document how I do it as I know they are always an eyesore!

Really not too hard. Most everything except the bottlegates, springs, and screws get replated. you can get new rivets to reconnect the bottle gates to the gate arms from several of the site vendors. Just polish the bottle gates, they should clean up nicely
Here is one thread from a while back http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,20773.0.html |
