Hello folks,
I have a two AK 35 in my workshop awaiting restoration. They are in a fairly good condition.
The question I have is related to the paint these ones had.
The thing is that mine, and I think all the ones I have ever seen on internet, have the paint deteriorated and crackled.
Like this:
So the question is... the original paint was all solid and flat? Or did it come with some sort of crackle that with time deteriorated?
OR... is it that being a metal case, with the temprature changes, the case caused forces that eventually broke the layer of bright finish?
A couple more pics of details:
These last two, show that there is still some crackle, but without the top layer being deteriorated..
All in all, any ideas of how I should process the cabinet will be appreciated.
REGARDS!
