Next is prep and primer painting the machine. I'm using Rustoleum white clean metal primer. My plan is to brush on a fairly heavy coat of primer first then sand it down until the high spots of the casting start to show through. Then to finish masking everything and spray another coat of primer. I did not sand the small castings, but only scuffed them for adhesion. The column, turret, and knee I sanded quit a bit to expose the high spots, then sprayed a complete coat of primer on everything again. It is not all that smooth but I don't think I will spend any more time to make it better. This is that stage of a project where I am just ready to get it done.
