My neighbor, a professional autobots painter and all around great guy helped me bring back my Emco to near factory original paint spec. It took about 40hrs of prep, but end product is fantastic. I will post specs on the paint, a urethane in reseda green, if you would like. Going to be looking into getting replicas of the gear and thread plates in the future, but for now just enjoying it as is.

Mmm, minty!
Thanks, guys! It was a labor of love for sure, but I am hoping it lasts a long time. It was a little scary when my buddy, tyvek suit, mask, and gloves on mixes the paint with the catalyst says "Ok, now this paint is deadly. Do not take your mask off for any reason."
It all went off without a hitch and I was able to keep the shop at proper temp to allow the cure process to occur.
Never be this clean again!
