    Mahlkonig guatemala - to paint or not...

    Gene Cafe Coffee Roaster $850 - Free Beans Free Freight
    I just invested in a guatemala bulk/retail grinder. Great machine. Only letdown is the battered up copper paint. What do you say? Paint it or leave it retro, beauty on the inside style?

    For a first restauration project I'm pleased with it. Although fitting the motor back in was tricky...

    Alexpid, I know this post was over a year ago, but, do you recall what all you did to repaint the Guatemala? I have the same machine, same color, same dinged up paint. Any info you can share would be super helpful. Cheers!
