Darren:
I use garage floor paint, easy to apply, tough and oil resistant.

Use a small foam roller and not a brush to apply.

Rob.Wilson:

Trion:
Thanks for the replies! Nice thread Darren, I've read it before, but I had forgotten all about the garage floor paint, I wonder if it's possible to get the paint in mint green :scratch:

Trion:
This week, I've been to quite a few paint shops, but every time i say coolant liquid the sellers get the 100 mile stare, before they go searching and eventually dig out a barely used catalog from the bottom of a pile. Then a slightly evil grin comes to their face, as they look through the pages and discover the price. Cheapest so far is 700NOK per liter, equals £70 or 120$. And that is not including the 25% VAT, nor is it the exact same color as the machine. :bugeye:

I have also asked for garage floor paint, but was replied that it was like going to an auto shop and asking to buy a car. After a bit of back and forth, they found something that could suit the application, but they didn't have it in mint green, shocking...

So I guess I'm back to square one, with my cheap single component paint. Therefore I arranged a test :dremel:
Painted test piece, meets jar of old coolant and dirt


I'm going to let it stay this way for a couple of days, if the paint still sticks I'm going to use the cheapo paint to paint the worst spots around the machine. Some day, I might buy a lot of polyurethane or epoxy paint and paint the whole machine..



During the week I have also gotten myself a new locking key :)


So I began cleaning the parts for the head, and started the assembly


Mounted the shaft and put in the new key


Handle driving mechanism


Handle dial


Mounted and started assembly of fine feed mechanism


Since I haven't finished the fine feed handle, I didn't continue the assembly here..


Instead, I moved on to the spring side


After a bit of adjustment back and forth, the spring sat in it's place


But the quill is not moving lightly enough for the spring to be able to retract it by iself, so I lubed it up with WD40 before I left..
