Gas Pump

[tom/illinois]

Scott I am in the process of restoring 2 pumps, wanted to paint them base coat clear coat but I now have a lead on getting at least one of them re-porcenalized. They are originally porcelain...white.

I highly recommend oldgas.com for those gas pump and petroliana enthusiasts. Here are some of my visible gas pumps. The Sunset pumps and the Violet Ray are Wayne (Boyle Dayton) cut 83s. The Seaside pump is a Keesee. All these were made in Los Angeles.

I thought I would get in on the gas pump deal
My problem is that I had to put them in storage since I am restoring a 35 Conv.
Oh well enjoy the pictures

Any tips on repainting a pump? Spray bomb Rustoleum, auto paint, epoxy, ???

I have only actually restored one of my pumps the Wayne 60, after sandblasting, and hand sanding, I sprayed gray heavy fill poly primer, sanded that with 800, then used Acrylic Enamel with hardener, it is a single stage paint that dries very fast and looks great! Not very good for cars these days because it will fade in sunlight and chip, but for a gas pump it is fine, and cheap too! Buy the decals & 15" metal body globe from www.slamagas.com $25 each for decals.
