The service door was funky, especially on the bottom edge. Bunch of rust and scratches. So I sanded it down the best I could and prepped it for a fresh coat of paint (making sure to tape off the stickers): Also got the cash box door prepped for a refresh: Boom! Also threw some paint on the Control Panel base, getting ready for my top panel surround to arrive: I pivoted from the painting while waiting for these pieces to dry, and concentrated efforts on the metal parts at the base. They were suffering from some build-up from the elements, maybe water scum, mixed with dirt...who knows. As the man of the house, I'm relegated to doing the crappy chores, like putting out the trash, or scrubbing the bathrooms. So I know the best way to get scum off of the facets is to use CLR. You just spray the metals, let it sit for 5-10 mins and let the foam do the work for you. Then you just lightly scrub it away with a magic eraser and they come out looking shiny. Mirror-like finish! I really want to reassemble everything, so after my stream tonight I'm going to try to put all the parts back together and snap some pics. Exciting! |

Wondering if leaving mine in "survivor" condition is worth it after seeing this. I knew when I saw who OP was that this would be quality posting and you did not disappoint! Loving this thread! --- End quote --- Thanks, morton. Honestly, these cabinets are so much easier to work on than stand-up woodies. Less messy. :D --- Quote from: emphatic on November 19, 2020, 04:26:21 pm ---Congrats on these. Great work so far! :applaud: --- End quote --- Emph! Good to hear from you, man. I was hoping a candy cab restore would bring guys like you out. ;) Thanks dude. :cheers: |

I couldn't wait. Had to see how all these painted parts looked together. |
