Title: Interior decorating Post by: Skeleton Man on September 12, 2008, 04:34:37 pm Hi guys,
I checked at Home depot and they carry rustoleum hammer spray, which I want to use inside inside my Cav CSS-64. I'm thinking liner and shelves definately for painting, but wondering if it's safe to spray parts of the bottle stack ? Few more questions on cleaning/painting: 1) How do I remove the bottle stack ? (and will this require an extra pair of hands?) 2) What do you guys use to sit the compressor, etc on when removing it ? (last time I had everything balanced on a chair, but scared of breaking lines) 3) How do I get the coils (evap/cond) looking all shiney and new, and/or can I paint them ? (without sandblasting) 4) Is there a technique to applying the rustoleum paint ? I was thinking of the spray bombs, but apparantly it can be bought by the gallon and rolled on too ? 5) Is there anything I should worry about when pressure washing the machine ? Do I need to remove anything other than the coin mech ? Any advice on cleaning/painting is welcomed. I'm not re-painting the outside just yet, I might get it done later professionly coz I don't have the equipment. There are no big hunks of paint missing, just lots of scratches, some of them look deep.

at the top of the stack and it will lift out easily. Build a simple little platform to set the evaporator just above the compressor to make it easy to paint and re-wire, Sandpaper and steel wool makes the copper lines look new, silver paint for the condenser. Hammer spray the shelves and inside of the bottle stack.

made. I also use a wire wheel to clean off the rust then hand sand some of the stuff. And new screws and bolts. What I use when I bolt the compressor down is some Chrome bolts , washers & nuts And it sets things off just nice :smile: Title: Re: Interior decorating Post by: MoonDawg on September 12, 2008, 10:58:58 pm Remove the shelves, unhook the wires at the bottom and remove the 2 bolts at the top of the stack and it will lift out easily.
