Got new cans from Napa, the labels look like what you see on the Krylon site and even the spray nozzle is different - easier to control the strap.  Though still came out a darker red than my very 1st cans I bought.  My Empire Playboy & Power Boy are closer to this color red.  I don't think I have it in me to buy even more paint cans and stripping the parts down.

Paula has the tank & fittings coming to me in the mail and I have my newly made heater blanket ready.  While I was really lucky the mica was in near perfect shape I reinforced with some of my new stock.  I'll have to find my glass tube stock or at least I think I have some that will fit the smaller fittings.


Here is a photo - same out so-so but far better than when I started out, so I'll take that as a win.  I don't think I'll re-paint the wheel, I did try that on a engine long ago and it came out a right mess.  Though it might get the better of me and I'll pull it and give it a go.
