really admire the work you have done looks great,
Hi Tim, thanks,
I'm using Rustoleum. I ended up using two different colors by default. I used the Dark Grey spray can primer/paint on all of the accessories not thinking ahead enough to check that is was available in a quart so I could paint the base, chip pan and ways. I ended up adding some black to the quart can of grey to get the base color, a bit too dark for a match but good enough for a lathe.
Bill, thanks.
I soak the gears and such in carburator/parts soak, wash them off and then soak on Rust Dissolve then rinse. Makes them look new and removes any grease, grime and then rust. I then oil them up.
