They don't warp, hes just giveing some of the younger collectors an idea of a different, uncostly way of doing a pump, for some that has never painted or bought paint at a local indrustrial paint store, don't know how or why, and if your a youngin, its up to us ol farts to talk about different ways to do things. I myself do not sell my pumps that I paint, so I paint them for me . but if your going to sell them you want good quaity paint and items on them, as far as your frame goes , if you have the extra cash to powder coat it, do so . if you don't clean it and paint it, the old timer that had his collection up for sale, was so picky that all his sheet metal was redone no dents,dings, nothing, all new metal, except for the A-38. so as Midway oil asked not to long ago, when do you determan between original and non -original????? powder coating on a good skined pump might look good but like Morgan said, if you ding it, bump it , chip it , thats it no sanding and touching it up, but , its all up to you. shake that can.
