Hello all, I just finished my first Rustoration of a pump. This pump was pretty straight when I got it and I wasn't ready to spend the money for a full restoration on it yet.
I talked to Matt Alvarez a few times with questions and as usual he was very helpful. Thank you Matt. I kept it pretty basic for my first one. There are a few things that I try on the nest one to try and inprove on the look. In person I thought I got the doors to dark but in the pictures they don't look dark enough. Still not bad for the first one.
I alway love to see everyone's rustoration projects on here so keep them coming for more ideas and inspiration.

Mike

looks great to me.

I would be interested to hear the different methods everyone is using, maybe you can start posting what you tried. (ex. furniture stain, mixing kerosene in the paint, etc)

I think you did a great job! I like restored pumps; but I'm really starting to like these rustorations. I've seen some great ones that Sean down in Humble did and I think I might have to try it myself!
