1945 Atlas Model 73 Drill Press Restore - PART 2

The second episode involves wire brushing, buffing, polishing, cleaning, and painting.

This is the most important stage to get the best looking results.
I was meticulous and made sure all grease was cleaned and was careful to use light coats of paint to get even coverage on all surfaces. Part 3 is coming and you will not want to miss it!

The paint+primer I used was by Rustoleum "Black Stainless Steel"

The polishing wheels by PURUI were well balanced and of excellent quality.
