petrol pump resto

[windymiller]

so currently restoring this olde petrol pump, its a wayne with cleveland premium etched into the glass, thoughts on skeleton frame and internals ? do i completely strip back and repaint in a matt grey (any help on a suitable paint / spray ?) or a de grease and only paint the bad rusty bits ? Dad painted it with whatever paint they found or was given and most things ended up black 😞 the correct colour is seemingly blue on the two side and top and an off white for the front and back doors.

That's a very cool project! I can't help you with the technical details, by will follow to see the end result.

Though I did think I'd get to read a story about a chance encounter or a peculiar meal at a service station.

I was in Ravenglass the other week.  There is a hand cranked pump on the 'main street' complete with globe, marked at 1/6d  (around 7.5p per gallon??)   Not sure if its original location or just 'yard art'

the top left image is kind of seemingly the one but our blue seems a tad darker and we have no globe atm
