Randy,
I am sorry if I offended you, but I simply stated that the pump looks cool the way it is. I also restore pumps and I am very meticulous, like you. I like both restored pumps and unrestored pumps. I was just simply noting the cool crackle paint. I never said you were doing anything wrong. It is your pump, do what makes you happy. When I restore pumps it makes me very happy and I am relaxed (except when a bolt breaks… lol). Please re-read my original post in a different context and please keep posting your progress; we all like seeing it.
Pictured below is three pumps that I recently meticulously restored every piece on….
