One must be careful when removing paint from large cast iron machine

In my case, there was no bondo.

It is indeed rather rough, I think that they ground the casting in
some places and left is as is in most places.

Its a freaking press. Give it a shot of primer, paint to suit and put
pin stripes on it in a complimentary color. Or flames or racing
stripes or have it chromed.

I think that it would be cool to make it look like a toy.

Paint TONKA on it in block letters

Years ago, there was a railroad bridge down in Oregon, which had all
the usual graffiti. So the railroad came along and repainted. And
short afterwards, someone painted "Lionel" on the side. This was a
nice job, so I'm told, and the interesting thing - nobody ever painted
on that side, till the RR came back and repainted the bridge.

Now that was Art.
