Well the paint job is complete. This is my friend, Ron, who did the painting. I opted for the single stage paint.





I will begin the process or reassembly tomorrow. Stay tuned.

By the way, the green painted object is for someone's antique tractor. It is not part of my Wayne 70 project.

I am probably one of the few residents of my town who does not own an antique tractor. Maybe that will be my next adventure.

As many years as it has been out, I have never shot base/clear. Supposed to be 'fool proof'. The little painting I have done has been single stage and I have wet sanded to the finish I like and wax. My car is base/clear and its NICE. If I'm doing it one step and one cost is plenty

I use single stage on all my projects. I even used it on my pickup. I am constantly getting positive comments about the paint on my truck and on my pumps. The single stage has a different quality to it, sort of softer like. I also really like the fact that if you screw up and get a run you can just sand it and buff it out.

Almost done. A few minor things left to do. Been having trouble getting the doors to close properly. Any suggestions?

It's usually just a lot of fiddling, bending hinges, etc. I do like to tape te door bottoms so I don't scratch the paint.

The hinges appear to be cast aluminum. Can you actually bend them?

No don't try bending the hinges. You can carefully bend the metal tabs the hinges attache to and you can shim (washers used as spacers) the hinges where they attache to the tabs.

I have had good luck bending Wayne 70 and Tokheim 39 hinges just be sure and heat them with a heat gun or put them in an over at 400 degrees and bend them after being well warmed up.

Yeah, if their cast aluminum I'd see why you'd have to be careful! Dons approach makes sense to me, sometimes shimming just won't do it. I usually fit the doors before I paint now, just easier, I leave the hinges on the frame when I can and just paint them with the frame. Avoids mixing up where each hinge was. Not sure if thats possible on wayne 70s. Got tired of spending hours fitting doors and having to touch up paint!

Ok folks, here it is. My first restoration of a Wayne 70 pump. I learned a lot and will look forward to more Petro restorations.
