I have come to the conclusion that I need a Wayne 70 door. The one I have is badly pitted from rust.
Anyone have one that they would like to part with?

Post a picture of your door there are several different styles of doors utilized on Wayne 70`s.

You should have no problem finding one as that is the most common style.
Here's your photo.

Here is the actual door.  Everything is pretty good except at the bottom. It was heavily rusted and pitted. The rest of the pump body is outstanding. It is just this door. Here is the bottom of the door. I want to have the entire pump powder coated but don't think the powder coating will fill the pits.

My other option is to have the pitted part cut out and a new piece welded back in.

I don't think the powder coat will fill the pits in either, you would need a guarantee from the powder coater before preceding..

In my opinion, the doors are very workable in that condition. You'd be better off having the parts skimmed with body filler, blocked, sanded and painted. By doing it that way, you will be assured a fine finish. Powder coating is a poor substitute for restoration work. Just me talking. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

I may decide to do that. Thanks.

It would also be nice to have it all original and complete, The way it came from the factory.

No doubt, you are correct. However, there comes a time when the integrity of the piece may have to give way to the best suitable option as I plan to keep this in my family. I will have to think this over pretty good. I am not doing this for "resale" value. It is something that I have wanted to do for a long time. And, since I am a veteran living on a modest fixed income, I will have to make my choices based on my limited budget. Going the route of powder coating is much cheaper than taking it to a paint/body shop if I can do the majority of the work myself.

I have had several pumps powder coated. The finish on large areas is not as nice as a paint job. Small parts and rounded parts like a globe body come out nice. New metal also ends up with a better finish than old sand blasted metal. Every little ding dent and deep scratch will show up including the pitting. I have spent many hours trying to metal finish original panels so they look decent. My pumps that were finished in automotive paint look the best. Or you could also try a patina restoration. I call the rustorations. The inperfections are a plus when doing one, they add to the old look.

I can do the skim coat and sanding and then have someone paint the body. It will cost a bit more but seems like the only reasonable solution, at this point. Have you ever used single stage paint? How does it look? Thanks for your comments.
