Those legs came out good.
Don't forget to put a plastic washer between the leg and bolt head, or the paint will chip off in little chunks.

Quoted from mof:Sometimes I buy an old 80's machine that comes with self-painted grey legs that look nice, but I often notice a few small paint chips missing. What can a hobbyist do as a final coat, to prevent paint loss after doing a nice job?

Usually the industrial lead based paint from the 80s is much tougher than a rattle can of consumer paint.
Don't make it too thick around the bolt holes.
Powdercoat paint is much tougher than rattle can too.
Quoted from mbaumle:Yikes! They used lead paint into the 80s? I thought it was banned in 1978?!
Banned from home use.
Still in use for industrial applications (and children's toys from China).
