Vintage Kitchen Scale Restoration.

As soon as I saw these scales on the classifieds site, I immediately fell in love with them. I was very lucky that the seller lived in my city and I did not have to wait for courier delivery. I jumped in the car and 15 minutes later I was shaking hands with the salesperson after a successful deal.
I was driving home and already imagined exactly what the result of my work would be.
On the same evening, I dismantled the scale into parts, sandblasted all the details, puttied in the necessary places and covered with two layers of primer. Wet sanding made the base very smooth and perfectly even. Then I once again degreased all the parts, gave them time to dry thoroughly and applied two coats of light ivory. The paint turned out great.
The numbers on the scale plate were completely worn out after a long time of use, and I decided to apply the paint again. It took me a lot longer than I showed in the video. There were many unsuccessful attempts, removal of all paint, re-degreasing, and so on in a circle))))
This project didn't take me long, but I still really enjoyed working on it.
I hope you enjoy the combination of colors I chose. I look forward to your feedback in the comments.

Thanks for watching and give this video a thumbs up if you liked it.

Take care of yourself!
Best regards Max!
