The paint and face is worth more the the whole thing! HAHAHA Looks amazing and you did an excellent job restoring it also!!!! I like the cracks on the face also Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Goodness me! I see what you mean about the reaction on the paper face. Still, the best part is that now it creates the character you were looking for originally. Turned out beautiful mate. Loved the colour and the depth of colour you created with a couple of drops in the clear coat is amazing. I’ll have to remember that. No wonder the wife confiscated it. She has good taste.
I live in Argentina, I have the same one that belonged to my great-grandfather, it works excellent and I want to restore it... did you need to calibrate it when reassembling it?
Puting that paper face on it looked like the most headache of the whole restoration other then that a very nice outcome but never to be seen again Wife has it now 😂👍🏆
You didn't test for lead paint, you just went straight to sand blasting. That's irresponsible. You put yourself, your family & your local environment at risk of lead contamination. 👎
WOW you make some pretty big assumptions there !!! perhaps you should ask me about the filtration system I have installed specially for the sand blaster and the separate dust collection system for the rest of the workshop, I assume every paint system is bad for me ,I have recently upgraded to a vapour blaster to catch more contaminants ,I'm assuming from the way you are writing that you work in this industry yourself ,and have impeccable safety standards, Please don't tell me but show me in a video how you would do this, I look forward to seeing your paint removal video Cheers Richard
