Royal Quiet repaint (before)
OUCH!
I snapped up this 1938 Royal Quiet at an antique mall in 2014 (here's my original post about it). I could see right away that the paint was flaking and ought to be redone, at least on the top and in the back.
But it's such a pretty machine, and not common. I love its details.
Well, this weekend a professional typewriter restorer and seller offered to repaint the whole thing for me, preserving the chrome and the Dick Hoyt decal. I am jumping at the opportunity.
If it comes out well, you will see an "after" post on this blog.
