Well, this brings back memories.  Apart from  the pimples & puberty...:rofl: I did do a little bit of ' powder coating'  in 'metal  work in 1st year high school.  ( well, at least I think it was 'powder coating'?    :dunno: ) 

It was a metal  pen holder. Heat it up with oxy torch , and dip it in some   plastic powdery ...stuff.  And it comes out all beautifully coated . 

As for sewing machines, I'd be happy with a nice paint job and finish it off with some decals   :)

@iron1951 what machine is it ?  We'd love to see a ' before & after' pic. All the best in the restoration

I will definitely show some before and aft pics. Its going to be a while. Don't even own a gun yet. I'm not sure which machine I will try it on. I want to get them sewing properly before I tear them down.

Ages ago I read on a forum that some folk have had success powder coating over JB Weld, but only pin holes, nothing big.   Might be worth trying it out, but I suggest googling, because I can’t remember how they did it.

I have a 45k25 I've been 'almost finished' restoring for about 7 years now. I had the head soda blasted then powdercoated. I'm very happy with the finish. It's a good gloss black, excellent film thickness with just a tiny bit of orange peel effect that can be seen in originals.
Things I wish I'd done differently are having the head done all as one piece (which is how they were done originally but I ended up separating the arm and top for soda blasting and should have just left it as it was; and being a bit more explicit with the powdercoaters about what exactly needed masking and what didn't, because there are a couple of surfaces that didn't get masked which should have been.

Overall I'm very happy with the result. It takes decals well and at some point I'll get around to finishing the decals and clear coating it.

GOOD MORNING , DO YOU STILL OWN YOUR PEARSON A 1
