I have given it a couple coats of primer and just started the color.
The paint will be given some age and wear marks.
Dents are original and left alone.

As they say at classic car shows:

I didn't build it hoping for your approval... I built it because it meets mine.

OK I get it. You post pictures here asking for information on brand. Given the response you state that you will not do more than clean and sell the unit? Whatever... Now we see more pictures of a restoration? You open yourself to comments, as long as they are praise but anything else is unwanted. I hope you can learn that you will get honest references on this site by people who care about this hobby. If you don't want the truth, don't post the stories. We all want to help but I will not whitewash the issue. Best regards, Paul www.severngaspumps.com

I understand and agree.
I don't restore pumps. I only replace the missing parts then keep them or sell them.
The paint on this pump was so thick and terrible I decided to have it sandblasted.
First time I have ever done it.
I just wanted to simply replace some color to the metal to give it a better look and replace missing parts.
I will be keeping this pump for use outdoors.
