Thanks for the advice. I couldn't upload any photos last night but it is a Boxfod 250F with the sheet steel enclosure. the lathe would be fully removed.

However I think have underestimated how heavy it is even when empty and will be a mare to transport and work on.

Probably going to scrape/sand down and then spray or roller with enamel.

Is the tractol paint any good? or stick with Paragon
