Refinishing my $12.50 Singer 28
Thought I would show some pictures of my new project. I bought two singers for $25. One wax a 28 the other a 128. I decided to re-paint. So far I've spent around $40 in supplies, but I should have enought to refinish both. Now I have to figure out how to get the paint of the balance wheel. As well what would work best to clean up the shiny parts.

Not sure if I'm the one to offer advice, this is the first time refinishing a sewing machine! I've read through a few other posts and following others advice. I've refinished other furniture in the past, so just applying similar techniques. Just making sure I use rust proof and metal products.

Well I am learning from a major mistake, after a week of rain I finally had a sunny day to put a second coat of primer. In a rush because the kids were running around I grabbed a can and sprayed. Paint stripper, not the primer! So. Have to strip and sand again and start all over!
