Davis-Wells Bandsaw restoration question........................
I scraped it down best i could and washed it well............still had alot of greese build up and junk that was on the cast so i started washing it with Laquer thinner........worked fairly good but i ran out......had some acetone and it works very well with some elbow greese and its taking even the old black primer (which was on top of the original paint-aqua color) off it down to the original color .......I have matched the color with a good enamel semi gloss which is almost a perfect match.
Anyway my question is this........the acetone is almost like liquid sandpaper the way its taking the crude off down to the original paint.....Do you think it will still need sanding ?
Ordered a HVLP spray from HF to paint it with and should arrive soon...about a $30-40 one which im hoping will work with my small pancake compressor.........guess i see...........
Thanks in advance.......................
