Well I have been super busy with a ton of projects. Here are the updates I promised. The Machine body has been sprayed with 3 coats of etching primer. This was allowed to cure and off-gas. The next step is to lightly smooth with 000 steel wool and then fill in any casting voids with a quality 2 part filler. After that it will be primed. I am using Krylon products for the paint as that is what I can get locally. I did not mask any of the areas on the machine. I will use a Dremel with a wire brush to remove the paint from the areas that need to be bare metal. This ensures total coverage of any exposed areas. and a much cleaner look when completed. It is an extra step, but I am not in a hurry.
