Nice job. Pump is looking good. Have you considered stripping the chrome embellishments?

Thanx all!
Yes, that is on the list too JimT.
There is paint and concrete on the bottom chrome pieces. The window bezels are thickly coated with paint so if I am going to do them, I will remove 'em and do it. The 2 Erie symbols are coated too but they will get the treatment, eventually also.
It is starting to make me cringe when someone calls asking about this pump and they say they are gonna redo it and take it to some other brand. The Rainbow pump that I had was the same way and as far as I know, it is now a Texaco pump.
UGH (people really need to get over it when it comes to the Rainbow brand and the more recent association of rainbows with homosexuals! It's ridiculous to rebrand a rare pump like that just because a person does not want to be associated with gay folks! People are people and gas brands are gas brands. No one's sexuality is based on the brand of gas they like, ok maybe some of the more serious petro nuts on here have sign and gas pump fantasies,,, ha ha ha ha)
Sometimes I really wish I could keep everything I find like this. Original is sooooooooooooo much cooler looking to me!

More pics to come as more stuff gets done.

Finished it today and now I have a skill that I will use on most of the pumps that I get if they have decals that have been painted over.
This side was much easier and took less than half the time that the other did.
See my nice Chevron National Credit Cards porcelain double sided sign I just brought home? It matches the pump so nicely.
