Quoted from phillyfan64:World Fair lockdown bar receiver. Rusted, badly pitted and a lot of the plating is worn off. I really don’t want to replate it. Is it worth trying to repaint it with a Rustoleum or Krylon metal finish?[quoted image][quoted image]
Funny you posted this, I literally just sprayed one for my Strato Flite last night.
Used the Rustoleum hammered finish

Quoted from phillyfan64:Perfect!! That looks awesome. I'll be picking up the same paint today. Any prep tips? Thank you.
I just sanded and Naphtha'd it, this is actually my first time using this paint. I need to do the other side of the sliding bar with the handle tonight, so far the paint is holding and not scraping off when i move it. I imagine itll get some wear marks where its metal on metal but those little blemishes are fine in comparison to the nasty mess it was before.
Quoted from Garrett:Jeez mrm_4.....that attention to detail
That turned out nice.
How did you get the sliding section of the lock bar apart? I thought the pivot point was crimped or something like that?
Yeah its crimped, I left it attached, it'll probably make sense more when I paint the other side and put it back together. I'll post as I go in real time.
Quoted from phillyfan64:It’s still tacky so it’s just sitting on there but it certainly looks better. Thanks mrm_4.
