Hello
I want to paint my newly purchased steam engine.
What do you use as a primer and paint?
What you use for surface treatment also?

The machine is in plain steel.

Hello together
I have received my ordered steam engine from China yesterday.
It works perfectly with air.
Also, I have received a charge pump and a bronze Oiler. I think the material is worth his money!
