First off sorry I don't have any before pics for this one. I got it from a guy over at Knots for something like 30 dollars with shipping. It had pitting on the sole and sides (still does but I'm getting a belt-sander next weekend:D). I chipped/scraped/sanded all the old paint off then used a "Rust to Black" primer that neatralizes all rust and inhibits further rust. After that I used some satin black spray enamel. About three coats then I used a hair-ryer just until the casting got a little hotter than "warm" then two more coats and again with the hair-dryer. What do you think?

I thought I'd add a big THANK YOU to Clint for answering all my questions about the plane. So, THANKS CLint!!
