The last week has been a trying time, but with the wife all better and Lenard back on form we have hit this project again. So with all the pieces cleaned up it's finally time to start paint...
This is Lenards comfort zone so he took the lead on the painting. We used a thick rust preventing primer because cast iron is very uneven, plus it oxidizes very quickly.
For this to work well and look great it's all in the prep work and attention to detail.
Initially we estimated three coats of primer but it looks like two will be more than enough.
We have made best effort to ensure no run off into the places we don't want paint but there is still some finishing to be done with a craft knife.
Due to the weight of these pieces we are painting them in two halves.
Just for a comparison here is a before and after.
So we really are on the home straight with this restoration and I'm hoping that it will look as good as it did the day it came out of the factory. It was originally machine blue with red and with this restoration we are going to honour that colour scheme.
