My son and I just finished Up a 1J for him. Pretty sure hes the only 16 year old at his high school with a BP. Here's some before and after pics.

Well done! And what a great father/son project. Thank you for posting the pics. Is it a 110V motor?

Nice thing about this rebuild was he was highly motivated to help and old enough. He did lots of cleaning and anything else I didn't want to do.

Brino, it's Rustoleum alkyd enamel sprayed. Check this thread out. It's a 2J I did a few years ago. Its very detailed in every step of the process.
