Did you use an etch primer, and is it car paint?
Looks as good as new again, well done.
Thanks :-)
A very thin layer primer i used, and four layers paint will hold for a long time

Nice job evert ,its very satisfying when you have finished cleaning it and you have a nice clean pin and a load of dirty clothes by the side of it.
Well done

Hi Evert

Wonderful job sir, it looks great !!

Did you mask the rivets and other parts, or did you take them off and re-rivet. They look so good I can't believe you masked them, but then it doesn't look as if you re-riveted either.

Do share, please

Cheers - Will

I did mask the small parts that can't be removed without damaging, i used Vaseline to mask the parts easy to bring on and to remove but it has to be done very precisely. :Hat:
