  1. Nicely done restoration.

    What paint did you use on the restoration?

      Excuse the delayed response (don't seem to get email alerts?)..

      Epoxy enamel - but not a 2 pot type which would be more desirable (but way too toxic with my limited spray paint set up).

      Just a fyi ..I would prefer overall to do a classic Japan Black ...I do have a 50lb bag of Gilsonite  ..heap of rosin ..linseed etc... But need a decent sized oven. And there is of course the recommended dose of alkyld driers .. litharge (lead based) or cobalt...this is where my interest faded..lol!

      If I had the oven-  I would switch to powder coating...and that has it's own issues.

      Much appreciated.

      im currently doing a mild restoration and I’m thinking of an 2 part enamel.

      I like the idea of “after some use” areas of the paint will fade and wear. The patina giving the machine its own uniqueness.

      Wish me Luck!!!
