Dilemma....leave it or primer and repaint ?

Looking Good!!!

Latches look awesome.

You gonna use it? If so I would leave it alone, then you wouldn't feel bad about any bumps or scrapes. HAHA.

Yep , the latches are in good shape...original sticker with serial number and patents still under latch. I carefully peeled , scrubbed paint off latches and reglued the stickers. I'm leaning towards a repaint....

Looks good. Repaint in one of the original colors would be my choice. Remember preperation is everything. Keep up the good work.

well...that's some food for thought. I have completetly stripped a few 76ers with a wire brush/angle grinder and used the same method JimB used on his A mag (zinc phosphate primer and textured paint) they came out fine but thinking to not wire brush all original paint off this A mag as most of the finish is intact. Thinking rough up with some 220 grit, zinc phosphate primer , then repaint......what color??

I have to say....I copied JimB .....since I saw his refinish job and picked his brain ....I just really like the end product. the textured paint is unique and looks good to me. Unfortunately there are limited colors to chose from. I have painted the 76ers in all the shades( brown, dark green, and JimB's "Tundra grey") . This one I primered with the zinc phosphate, then light coat of brown then the grey which darkened it up a little. Now i just need a coin and quiver.
