| You going to paint? How about painting the blade with a chrome finish paint and do everything else in black, besides the base piece and osc. knob? Last edited on Thu Jul 24th, 2008 10:20 pm by Nicholas Denney

I have yet to see a 1940s-era Power Aire whose finish does not look like it has been through a war (restored examples notwithstanding). Westinghouse must have used crappy paint during that decade. Too bad, because these are my favorite Power Aires.
Since my Power Aires will be going to Myles, I'm not going to do much with them. But I may polish the micarta blade of my little wartime Westy, à la Nick (polish/acetone/polish). Nick's blade is like a mirror!
