Hoover 28/belts As Mike said, the converitble belt will fit, but the Eureka F&G belts are slightly (just slightly) bigger and will I believe will out less strain on the bearings. Just a thought! Rick | ||

Eric
Hi Eric.....These are only my suggestions for repainting the 28 Most of the 28's that I have been familiar with have had a non-shiny and slightly rough painted finish (see example). If I were doing this, I would first have the color computer matched. I would then select a paint product that would yield the same type of slightly dull finish. I would have this product mixed and put into a pressurized spray can. Many paint stores can do this. I would NOT remove the old textured finish but simply clean it well to be free from dirt, grease, oils. Lacquer thinner works well for cleaning. I would then remove as much of the trim and other removable parts as possible. Mask remaining parts and lightly overspray the original paint until the imperfections are covered and even in color. **THIS IS ONLY WHAT "I" DO ADDITIONALLY AFTER PAINTING:** If the base is free of the motor, cover, handle, and any rubber trim, I preheat my oven to 200 degrees. TURN THE OVEN OFF - then place the painted base in the warm oven for about an hour to dry and bake the finish. Hope this might help you.
