Excellent work! I'm sure you are pleased with the way the parts are turning out.
Not that long ago, I was doing pretty much the same thing to a Hoover Convertible brush roll. Remove all old paint with a wire wheel, then primed and painted it. However, a thought occurred to me after doing this: How common was lead paint on vacuums? Was the brush roll likely painted with lead paint? If so, maybe I shouldn't have gone at it with the wire wheel... The brush roll originally had black paint and came out of the plastic base Convertible on the right. Anybody know?
