The compressor was clean to begin with, so after 2 degreasings it was
totally ready to get painted.

Um, how did you mask all those openings in the air filters, Iggy?
What's that? Did I just hear an "OH, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" ;)


P.S: Take a q-tip and touch up under the fins & fittings, eh?
And have your dad spray under the mounting plate and where you sprayed
it with green. tsk, tsk, tsk

These are mufflers, not filters.

I actually disassembled one to look. I do not believe that the paint
is going to do anything to them. They look like a bunch of crumpled
metal inside.

good point, will do!

I think that it is not really a big deal, unlike your previous point,
which is a big deal.

Same/same.

Oh, they come apart? If it were mine, I'd soak the painted "crumpled
metal" before it got hot and the paint flaked off, going into the
compressor. Just a thought.

Cameras are harsh critics, aren't they? I use mine to give me a
different perspective than what I take for granted with my eyes.

I thought the point was to allow the buyer to have the illusion that
it was brand new vs giving them a sure clue that it was a repaint, Ig.
And it's a one, maybe two, minute q-tip touchup. shrug

I don't think that mufflers for incoming air would get this hot,
unless there was a building fire. :)

When I repaint something, I say so in the auction and give pictures of
the original.

They heat up instantly after the compressor has built up to pressure
and stopped. Also, any oil and solvent fumes in the air will work to
soften the paint. I'm talking about the overspray on the curlies
inside the case, not the perforated case.

Yes, but the illusion is still there in the eyes of the beholder. "Why
leave blatant clues as to its repainting when it takes so little time,
material, and effort to repair them?" is my question.

A professional look is easily attained by covering those little
details, and those chinks in the armor of paint will generally reduce
the overall price you'll get for the machine by a lot more than the
cost of touchup. I gare-on-tee. Whooee!

Looks nice, Iggy. Out of curiosity, is the tank output (where the gauge is
mounted) a 1/2" NPT or a 1/4" NPT? I recently picked up a newer and bigger
compressor compared to my little old one, but the output is only 1/4" NPT
where the other one was 1/2" NPT.

This tank has "outputs" on its ends, the top is for mounting the gauge
and regulator, and as such, 1/4" NPT is enough for that. The ends are
3/4" NPT pipe thread, I believe.

Alright, thanks Iggy. I can see them on the pictures now that I'm looking.
