Has anyone ever done this? what type of prep work? do you prime before painting these interior pieces?

Sorry, I looked in my collection of rattle cans and its not there. I believe it was a hammer tone finish in brown or bronze color. There was only one color that was close to my color. Very inexpensive and came out great. I think I used an etcher primer first. Sorry, it's been a couple of years and I've slept since then.

Then I primered with two coats of Rustoleum Rust Encapsulator. I scuffed that and hit it it with Rustoleum Hammertone in Bronze. I also painted the case for the motor with the rust encapsulator, and followed up with flat black Rustoleum. It turned out real nice. I had a fellow who used to restore cars tell me he thought I had found a NOS heater. | | |
