I have the compressor to my WB60 broken down and ready to paint. What spray bomb can I use? Thanks in advance for the inputs!

I use a semi-gloss black on most of my compressors, but hammer-tone black or dark gray looks very nice too, ( if you're not to worried about "originality") if the evaporator is clean, you can leave it as-is, or I like to use cast-aluminum wheel spray enamel ( for automobile tire rims), or hammer-tone silver. Note of caution about the evaporator, be very careful about the line that connects the suction line to the evaporator, on this style of Westinghouse evaporator, the brazing at the entry point to the evaporator & the large accumulator ( large copper sausage-shaped thing on the right side in the picture)is very weak and will break in a heartbeat... don't lift/twist/ or pull on the accumulator..or you will find out what I mean..

Johnnie - is there any concern with regards to the temperature of the compressor (i.e. high temp paint) ??

The paint should not hurt the compressor.

I just used Rustoleum Rust Neutralizer on the compressor and evaporator from that drink fountain I got from Signguy.. I have been running it a bit on and off and that paint has held up to the heat well. It adheres to a bit of dirt and stops any further rusting. I'm pretty impressed with the finish and durability. I don't think you need to worry about high heat paint.

If you want paint that'll hold up to the heat, try the Dupli-color engine enamel, its about the same price as any other spray can, and works great (I did my whole engine with it). As for the paint standing up to the heat of the compressor, I've used Rustoleum semi-gloss black and had no problems at all in the past. I actually just took out a compressor that over-heated and died, and the paint still looked great on it.

I've found that pretty much all standard Rusoleum type paints will hold up just fine, If you compressor is Getting SO hot that it melts your paint, I think you have OTHER issues to worry about first If they are running correctly they shouldn't get that hot to require a high heat paint. 2 cents

Well I finished it up today and installed it. Thanks for all the responses. I went with the Rustoleum black semi gloss for the compressor & condenser and Dupli Color silver for the evap. I think it looks great!

Not much to see on that side yet. I am waiting on the marquee and I've got to do the selection panel and decals. I've also got some other odds and ends to tidy up, but it is getting close.
