Finally, some real progress with the tedious finishing process. I put the last coat of paint on the new dust collector chassis:
I abandoned my plan for the cone support. It was proving just too finicky. I’ll come up with another means of securing the barrel/separator.
The “hammered” spray paint (dark bronze, here) was kind of tricky to apply. It likes a moderately heavy and very wet coat to develop the texture, rather than several thin coats as recommended for other sprays. I made that mistake with the caster base, so it came out with more of a fine orange peal texture but that’s okay. I also installed the casters on the base…cuz that’s how I roll.
After the paint fully cures, I’ll mount it to the base and begin installing the electrical accessories.

Looks good. The hammered stuff really likes a good primed surface to get the hammered look with less coats. That’s been my experience with the stuff anyways. Looking forward to your next entry.
Have your say...
