Fascinating you paint your castings before you machine them? I never thought to do that however the more I think about it, It actually makes a ton of sense. Especially if you use a good paint that doesn't chip too easily. Worst case I guess you have to do a little bit of touch up when done. The more I think about it I made paint my next set of castings prior to machining and see how it goes. Anybody else do this?

I do it on wheels where I want a clear (unpainted) face around a tire.

It also makes shot blasting of the casting prior to painting easy, since no need to worry about maybe roughing up a finish machined surface.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

All the painted castings shown came to me as how you see them. I personally don't paint castings before I machine them. I'm just trying to sell them for a friend who wants to see the proceeds of the sale donated to the PLS Gauge 1 group.
