is this NOS or did you refurbish it?
lite_lover   [Aug 14, 2011 at 06:46 AM]
I refinished this fixture with Tremclad silver hammered finish paint as the original finish was peeling in places.

This looks just like brand new. Great job. Smile

Interesting, the OV 15s in my area are all bare, even the Westinghouse ones.

Nice paint job!

Here the paint just wears off. I've noticed that on all fixtures. Some lights keep their paint like the AE 25 and OVM, and others it just wears right off like the M-400 split door, M-250R2, and M-250R. Some lights you could swear were installed bare. All lights here were painted though. I've seen pictures from the 70's of my in a museum (no cameras allowed) of old lights like westinghouse and GE

I've noticed the newer AEs tend to have flaky paint.

Yeah, my FCO 125 has very flaky paint on it, half is gone.
