Got a few more coats to go on the throat plates to complete the pattern, then this all dries and cures, I run a very sharp blade to separate the pieces that got painted together from each other, then several glossy enamel topcoats to seal everything. Once that cures, the mechanical guts go back inside, I rewire the motor and get it all running again. :) Getting closer to finishing this one! #VintageSewing#Sewing

Got some cleanup and more touch up to do, but I am super tired now. Need to stop for today. Edit: This is 100% painted freehand. 1926 Singer 128 Pride machine. Once all the painting is done, I'll put her all back together and get her purring like a kitten. All my machines will be in full working order because I don't see the point otherwise. :) #VintageSewing#Sewing#SingerSewing

Ok. Here's a short little video of the Singer 237 with her new paint job. Every brush stroke applied by me. It's not perfect, but what is? This all has to cure thoroughly over the next few days. I will then remove the nose cover and top cover, touch up those areas, let it dry overnight, and then begin the topcoat process. Enamel clear coat is going on top of the acrylic. This is fine as long as you're not rushing the acrylic cure. Anyway, once this is off the workbench, I'll start getting the motor, foot pedal, and lamp rewired, cleaned, and painted. #VintageSewing#Sewing#SingerSewing

Final seal coat is now on the 1946 Singer 128. Let her dry outside and then bring it in to cure for about a week. :) #SingerSewing#Sewing#VintageSewing

We are now at 1000 grit sanding sponge on the 1926 Singer 128. 2 more steps to go with the sanding then I prep her for primer. :) #VintageSewing#Sewing#SingerSewing
