A quick restoration this week as I have a few bigger projects on the go. This Wesco oiler was a pleasure to restore and came out great. This thing gets used very often so it's good to give it a new lease of life.

Process:
Firstly I disassemble the oiler and emptied any oil inside. I then degreased all of the parts to remove any dirt, grease, or oil. Once clean I stripped the paint using what is, in my opinion, the best paint stripper, 'Starchem Synstryp'. Then, I removed the rust with Jenolite Rust Remover and a wire wheel. Once all of the rust had been removed, I masked the parts that needed it and proceded to etch and prime the main pieces. Once dry I used U-Pol's Fantastic Filler to fill any small dents in the main can. I then sanded the high-build primer and filler in preparation for the basecoat. For the basecoat, I needed to mix yellow and red to get the desired shade of orange. Once the main parts were degreased and tac clothed, I applied three coats of base and three coats of lacquer. Once dry, I removed any masking tape and got started on the new gasket. I need to get a proper gasket punch set, but they are expensive. Soon. Once that was ready I placed it in and drilled out the hole for the pump trigger. It was then a matter of reassembling the oiler and giving it a test. The restoration was then complete.
