I think I've done as much with the shell of the surfer as I want to do, or have the patience for. There's still a touch of blue paint here and there, but it may wear in time. Next steps:redo the interior felt, put the badges back, and put the typewriter back together.
I've learned a lot from this project, not the least of which is the amount of effort it takes to strip the paint from a typewriter! I've got a new appreciation for the level of effort involved in the other silver-surfer projects I've seen online.

Keeping a close eye!
So, what are you thinking of for the finish? I'd love to see someone chrome plate one of their machines.
Hmmmmmmmmm...... HMMMMMMMMm......
Now I'm thinking.
Looking good! I'm still keeping an eye open for the next candidate.
Hey, you get an A+ for even attempting it.
