I decided to go wild. Hopefully by now my friends know me and won’t lift eyebrow, and if so the tough.

So, first, disassemble all the parts that needs to be painted.

You will have to clean the metal parts firs. The best way is send blast, but for me it wasn’t viable option, so i thoroughly wiped it with white spirit. I am sure there are better way but you will have to do the research for it. i then sprayed paint it in primer paint.

Now the decoration is going to be skull silhouette (it was around Halloween at the time) in black on top of yellow background paint.

So I made stencils by using me boy book cover material leftover. Word of warning it is not good stuff for stencilling purposes.

Any way i found skull silhouettes on the internet, cut some A4 size sheets out of the book cover and print them on the paper side of the sheets.

You will have to cut out the black parts of the prints. Use the sharpest and most pointy knife you can find.

By now the primer paint as dried, so go about to paint the black colour, try and use the same paint manufacture for that.

When the paint is dry, peel the paper backing out of the stencils and stick it on the blacked belt sander and make sure it is properly stuck. Now spray paint it with yellow paint (use the same paint manufacture). You can peel the stencils when the paint is dry.

As you can see my result is not the best. It is dew bad paint and improper stencils material.

Assemble all the parts. I am sorry, you will have to work out which bolt go to were, but it shouldn’t be a big problem.

Once all is in the right place, step aside and ad stencils admire your work. If everything is okay it should look like that.how to build belt sander
