How fantastic is this? The C+P has a bit of original pinstriping! Sadly, I don’t think we can save it since there’s also bare metal which needs to be protected. This means a coat or two of paint which will cover those swirls of gold. Maybe once it’s painted we can finish it off with new pinstriping!
I love the pinstriping! I haven’t given our press a good scrub yet, but what a treasure it is to see such detail in the original paint job. It is a shame you’ll have to cover it up, but I’m sure a fresh coat of paint will look lovely, too.
