Just finished this up. I think it turned out pretty well. Special thanks to Jim Treadway for making up the custom ad glass.

Thanks Mick! Believe it or not, that red is Valspar Restoration Series MF Red tractor paint. About $12 a quart, maybe $16 or so if you factor in the hardener and reducer and lays down as nice as any single stage I've seen. Sanded and buffed it is smoooooooth. I redo my pumps on a little bit of a budget (although splurged for the 3 piece wide body globe), so I was psyched when I saw the results of that paint!

Wow!!! That is beautiful. You even have the Wayne Guard Dog that was talked about in another post a few weeks back.

They're cool little pumps, I'd wanted a 100 for awhile. They're a lot different than most of the other shorties out there. Forgot to mention, special thanks to OldGasser Brady Bowles (1PetroFan) for finding this one for me!

Nice.
Looks like you have a nice collection there.
I have used Rustoleum's paint in quarts with similar results. Thin a little, foam roller, build up the coats, wet sand and buff. I agree, the results are amazing.
Nice job.
Always looking for Ithaca Gun and Lucky Sam soda items!!!
