KIWA 510
I have the enclosure completely disassembled (had to for moving and fixing the machine anyway)
Now the mill itself is up and running great. Strangely turns out the spot I put the machine in the garage also has room for the enclosure to be installed as-is!! What!!
This means I am only an enclosure-assembly away from a functional VMC.
The enclosure is a) filthy and b) has typical paint destruction from 25 years of use.
Whats the latest in 2020? Do I have an option here for a) degreasing/cleaning b) paint prep c) painting that is at all compatible with doing in a garage/driveway, relatively inexpensively (<$500) that will yield a result that has any sort of durability? Or would I just be better off scraping whats loose (which will be ALOT) and then degreasing and putting it all back together?
