I don't remember that's kind of what I did I've have like a few of them and I've taken them all apart and kind of try to put all the best parts in my good one. I know none of it seems to work LOL and then again I'm just now trying to make some of it work. Back then I was just trying to get this text nice also and I can't remember any painting that I did but I did remember replacing some old rusty gages with some nicer ones.
