On a "Scale" of 1 to 10, Hubby's Skills are a 10




I purchased this scale on ebay a few months ago, mainly to get the tray.  It ended up that I wasn't able to use the tray for my original intent, so my husband did a refurb on the whole thing.


Here's what it looked like in all its glory who would paint it yellow and orange? to start with:






I believe whoever painted the scale might have also been in charge of painting this fire hydrant by our house!  U.G.L.Y.!!!





He took everything apart and removed all of the paint using Citrastrip, then a wire brush attachment on the grinder.






He shined up the brass.




He then spent a ton of time recreating the labels that should have been on there.  I am in awe of his patience!





He primed all of the parts.






He painted everything except the tray holder Cherry Red.  (He didn't want to draw attention to the tray holder, so he painted it black)




Can you believe the details on this??






 I think he did an outstanding job!



Thank you for visiting!
