Shiney :) (all looks strangely familiar)

followed by a number of coats of high build primer to fill in the chips.
I have to do the same now to the [ame="http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1231"]Haighton Major[/ame] (Hardinge UM copy) horizontal mill that I've just acquired. I've just scraped all the old paint off of the tub. The main casting has been stripped and hand-painted straight over the fettling - it'll need several coat to cover the mess.

BTW What's that little machine in the background of pic 4?
