wow....you did a beautiful job!

Did you hand paint the control panels, or did you actually find replacements?

Very nice Brastemp. You really did a lot of work on it. Looks great!

 

[northwesty]

You'll have to tell us how you did those control panels. They look great.

 

[foraloysius]

Great job on that machine, indeed the control panel turned out very well. Fabulous machine!

Wonderful job on the panel restoration - it looks like new!

Beautiful Machine!

I love the little badge on the front . . . it's so sad that designers of top-loaders seem to give up on doing anything to bring visual interest to the large front panels after the early '60s.

Hi all. Tanks for see.
I really had a lot of work for restore the control panel. The parts are original. I remove the old paint and I restore the original design. (Don’t ask me) hehehe
I promise make a video.
Thank you.
Rodrigo.

AHA!

"I remove the old paint and I restore the original design. (Don’t ask me) hehehe"

Silk-screen, I betcha. Looks great! I hope you'll share the secret of how you did it, soon.

Yes Rodrigo, I'm quite impressed, the control panel and the entire machine came out just beautiful! You must be very proud of this wonderful Brastemp washer, probably the only one left like it, in this condition, in the world!
