It looks beautiful, and you've done a remarkable job. It looks so proper with gold stripe decals and plastic headlamp lens in place. Is the subject machine the one that's in the forefront in your first photo? Good match on the paint colors on base and handle.
Question: How was the paint applied, i.e.,with spray device, etc? | ||

Sorry...but may I ask what an HVLP paint sprayer is? Did you have your paint formulated at an automotive paint store or elsewhere? I had some paint matched and mixed for a Hoover 150 paint job project by an automotive paint store technician. The gal who matched it perfectly took three days to get it to her satisfaction. She then filled, and somehow pressurized, three spray paint cans for me, which made it easy for painting.

An Enduring Gift...
I recently was given a rusty old Electrolux model 'G' by a long-time friend. I was simply told that it wouldn't pick up anymore. My friend didn't know that its leaking 50 year old original saran hose might be the problem. So, it was gifted to me. The funny part is that he couldn't remember that I had given him that same old Electrolux 27 years ago when it was a mere 23 years old. He had used it all those years. Glad to have it back, I went to work cleaning, sanding, painting, polishing, replacing a couple of missing attachments and Voila!
He may well get it back this year for Christmas. My thinking is that he might appreciate having it back when his cheap new plastic replacement bites the dust. CLICK HERE TO GO TO truckerx's LINK
