Pictures, repainted the compressor
I did the top (green) part, my father in law did the bottom (red)
part. http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Cham.../02-Repainted/ The compressor was clean to begin with, so after 2 degreasings it was totally ready to get painted. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

On Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:52:06 -0500, with neither quill nor qualm,
Ignoramus25555 quickly quoth: I did the top (green) part, my father in law did the bottom (red) part. http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Cham.../02-Repainted/ 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 -- Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials. -- Lin Yutang |

And it's a one, maybe two, minute q-tip touchup. shrug -- Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone.

I don't think that mufflers for incoming air would get this hot, unless there was a building fire. They heat up instantly after the compressor has built up to pressure and stopped.

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.

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. Jon |

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. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.
