Looking for advice. I know there's a few members here who enjoy restoring a old tools and I was looking for advice on painting.
I was leaving a service call this morning and while driving through the neighborhood I noticed a guy dragging this band saw to the end of his driveway for trash pickup. I pulled up next to him and asked if anything was wrong with it. He said no. He said he tried to sell it for $20 but nobody wanted it and now he wants it gone. He told me to take it. So that's what I did.
It's a Sears model # 103.0103 12" depth and it has an 80" blade. I'm guessing maybe 1940's or 50's????
I feel bad for the little fella so my son and I took it apart to clean it. It's in decent shape really. So then we figured we would paint it.
What's the best way to paint it? I'm not looking for a first place winner here but I'd like it to look decent. Would you guys recommend aerosol paint like Krylon or would you recommend brushing paint on? If I did brush it on, any advice on how to get a decent finish?
