Topic moved. Would like to reproduce those stickers one of these days. Any luck with the paint? Here is a picture of the door linkage.

Bought mineral spirits yesterday and will get on it tomorrow AM, I hope.  I will take another hi-res pic of that Union Made sticker if you want after I take some of that oil paint off the top of it??

Yes, the crank handles are reproduced and sold by a couple of different sources.

Thanks Brian!

I just tried mineral spirits on it and the paint just laughed at me.  It did clean the spot nicely where I used it, lol, but it didnt take any off.

I am running out of choices.  What about sanding? Like with a really fine grit??  way off base?

I would think Sanding would give you some problems... but maybe lightly jsut to the point where you can see the red, then use more another chemical ,or even if you could get most of the red exposed, try some rubbing compound on a buffer?  not sure.

worse case scenario, stripp it all down chemical or sandblast.. and start over..

Good luck!

you may have some success with a chemical stripper, given that the paint layers are of different age, and different application methods... on an inconspicuous spot try a little stripper to soften the top layer, but not the original paint... with a plastic scraper, try removing the top layer after a few seconds... some experimentation with length of time will be required... like SIGNGUY says, you may just have to strip it completely, but this method may be worth a shot first...

So I tried stripping it and too much red paint started coming along with it, so I am going to get it sandblasted.  The guy doing the work said he can powder coat the machine for me.  He said it is a non bake powder coating.  Anyone have any experience with this???

Here are a few pics showing my 1st day of disassembing this bad boy.  5 hours worth of work lol! I know,, I am new at this!
