I tend to hoard micrometers. Well, not really but when I'm at flea markets and such, I look for them and if they are in good shape (accurate and smooth) I buy them on the cheap. My plan is to resell them on ebay or different plants that I visit. Most of the time even though the mic might be accurate, it has someone's name or numbers scratched into the body or the finish is chipped and worn . I'm wondering if anyone has repainted a set? I was thinking of " Rustoleum Hammered" paint. I have used it on other things with ok results. Not to worry, I would tell people that the mic has been repainted, I'm not trying to deceive anyone, just trying to make something look nicer. Has anyone refinished a set? Did you strip all the old paint off first? What kind of paint did you use? Can you post any pics?
