It was made by "Walther Spritz‑ und Lackiersysteme GmbH'' which is a company based in Germany. The model of the Spraygun is "Pilot IV". It was probably made in the 1950's, because later companies started to use aluminium die cast for the body of spray guns. As you can see mine has a brass body which is pretty a relict of the past, because aluminium is lighter and and also cheaper. Looking forward to use this tool in future projects! Unfortunately the old cup broke while removing the dents. I was getting there and everything worked great until it broke. The aluminium was very corroded so it was pretty much a matter of time.. Since I don't have the tools to weld aluminium there was no option for me other than getting a new one. I just had to customize the thread a little, luckily I had the right die in stock. I hope you will have some fun watching the video! If you have any further questions on the process, tools, material, nickel plating or else write a comment, I will try my best to answer your questions. I hope you liked the video!
