Matt, what you did is pretty much what we would have done in the '60s.
The most important object at "the Working Station" was to get the pump up in working condition; as quickly as possible, using the best method(s) available at the time... (that included wire brushing a rust spot, using body filler if needed, prime and paint)
The Pump looks exactly like it should, IMO.... Thanks for sharing!

Having the complementary color underneath (the red) can also give it depth if the coat on top is not too thick in places. I do that a lot for my paintings to give them depth
Looks great! As do all your pumps!!!

Very Nice! I like these much more that the full blown restorations and they're so much less stressful to do.
Great Job once again!!
