Wow! A fine restoration on one of my favorite hoovers. I'll never part with my 63 only if it's for a Hoover 900. Lol. It's to beautiful. I feel this is the absolute peek model in hoovers long life. | ||

I dunno, the original condition machine didn't look too bad, what if you tried a little hand polish with some Mother's polish, I bet the scuff marks would have come right off... | ||

@Northwesty The original job was too far gone on the sides to just polish off. I prefer the machines to not have the patina on. Just my preference, believe me, if the polishing would have worked I would have been happy (painting not my fav thing :))) | ||

Paint.... What kind of paint did you use? I see spray paint cans in one of the pictures, but what kind of finish was in the paint to give it that glossy look? | ||

@vacuumfreak It was indeed spray paint, with a gloss finish. Used the premium brand from Lowes | ||
