Great video Rob. Think its important to figure out what paint you have.
The old oil base enamel paints doesn't give up as easy as laytex base paints of today.

Thanks guys !

Nick,

Thanks for posting pictures of your National A-62 pump. The sides and top almost look like they are Flying A green porcelain but I am thinking they are painted panels? The pressure washer gave it a good look.

Thanks Dave and Matt ,

Matt ,
I have been inspired by you and what you have done with your pumps over the years. I finally took the time to make a pump my own! This one is a keeper for sure now.

Hi Marky,
I have cleaned up a bunch of those National porcelain pumps. Just use a fine polishing compound after the chemical stripping and washing. After that use a good quality automotive wax and buff it off. It will shine!
