peter lena 8,655 #3 Posted February 26 @kpinnc can relate to that , been recovering paint for a long time , my initial reaction to any paint , is a penetrating oil spray down , let it sit a day or two , then a clean cloth rub down , totally faded paint , no recovery , will stay with the oiled patina look , often enhancing the era look . find its easy to , protect paint , surface stays slick , and always looks fresh , zero rust , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
