More: "WORK IN PROGRESS" stripping paint
I stripped the paint off my Singer 66 and will start on touch-ups today or tomorrow.
Stripping in progress
Stripping complete
The actual stripping took about an hour. (went faster than I thought it would)

Wow, I'm glad someone else is doing this! What product did you use to strip the paint? What paint product are you using to paint the machine? Are you priming it first? Details please! I'm hoping to strip and repaint my 201, so any help you could add would be lovely!

I used Jassco paint and epoxy remover. I placed the machine in a rectangular tub and have a really, really cheap brush to apply. Let it sit for a while and started rubbing the brush around. After that I got my water hose and rinsed it off. Looked to see if I missed any spots and reapplied where necessary. Rinse and let dry.. Then I sanded entire surface with very fine sand paper (200+) then did a last once over with 1500 wet dry sand paper. Wiped/blew off the dust, plugged holes and put on first coat of primer. (Rustolem).

I am watching this intently. With the availability of new decal sets for a lot of the Singer models, this is now a total possibility to refresh/restore the badly scratched, peeling machines.

All I removed was the parts on the outside plus the bobbin mechanical parts.
