I actually drive a fuel truck. I only take the pictures there as the stove light up above help to createmore clear pictures. Its strange that all my appliances are Whirlpool Gold. I had never noticed that until it was just mentioned here. I guess my wife was right when she says I never pay attention.

Loving that Black Vulcan, he is on my to-do list. Looking forward to seeing your progress on them both.

black vulcan 2.jpg This picture does not do Black Vulcan justice. The paints are looking awesome so far ( knock on wood ). Painting yellow stripe on head will be a challenge. Can anyone out there give me some tips on how to get a straight sharp edge. I am afraid masking tape will lift paint.

Never tried it, but how about that blue painters tape. Or that Frog tape.
Never tried this either, but what if you clear coated the head and then used tape & painted it.
Not sure just throwing ideas out there.

I am almost wondering if the stripe could be cut out of cardboard etc. and then cut the stripe out of wider piece of cardboard almost like a reverse template. Has anyone ever done this ?

Just spit ballin' here but...how about yellow vinyl tape like this 31L7CeIch0L.jpg?

Cut the bolt into the tape while on the roll and then peel and stick it on the head.

Or see if Paul at Laser Mego can help with a peel and stick solution.

great idea, will try that if paint does not work.
