In this video I restore a Preway Model P4522 made c. 1945-1947. A previous owner used it hard and gave it a messy after-market paintjob. Along the way we see how electrolysis can easily remove paint and rust, the painting process, and other fun things like faulty cans of spraypaint and then recovering the project in their aftermath.
