Any ideas on Bronze coating the barrel ?

That would involve a electroplating process
Very durable finish

$$$

It's only $$$

Painting it with a bronze coloured paint could be tacky looking

Thats what I was thinking.But how about removing the existing paint(just off the cannon) not the carriage
(The carriage & wheels look to be in good shape)

Stripper... and not the type at your watering hole :P

Yeah that stuff works>> https://www.acehardware.com/departm...cleaners/paint-strippers-and-removers/1000814
I used Zip-Strip on my Vett. years ago.

 

[pepperj]

The application of stripper
Cost/time/toxic clean up vs blasting it clean.
3 coats of oil based paint
Not a single application of stripper
Probably 2 and a final wash down scrub that the paint sat in all the little rust divits.
Just try a small spot, maybe it's an easy.
Started the steel hull on the boat one time. 3 coats, and there was a tar water proofing mastic base coat.
Professional sandblasting Company
The air was blue and extra $$$

 

[RTR]

Yeah its messy alright & stinky & it took 40 hours to strip the Vett.

Good morning everyone, sorry I've not been on much I sometimes get frustrated with myself that I can't hold conversations like most people being social has always been hard for me doesn't come natural for me. Had a really rough night last night for whatever reason around 9pm I got violently sick suddenly. It started off with me feeling extremely cold, then my stomach was in knots, lower back startes to hurt, and tendons in my feet hurt really bad. Got up to shower lasted about a minute and had to run out to violently vomit. Got back in the shower and has a hard time keeping my head up and my back and stomach were not feeling good at all. After that dragged myself to bed lasted about 5 minutes and had to violently vomit again and put me in tears. Got back in bed instead of being cold I got too hot and ached everywhere and my stomach was so angry. I know throughput the night I had confusion as I remember not thinking straight. I'm worn out now and sore but definitely don't feel like I did in the night. That was misery.

Beautiful day out being 65F, dog is chewing a bone, chickens have had a bush run for a hour before going into the other secure area.
Tilled a bit of soils up, spring in the air, with a special wether statement to follow.
Seems like they're calling for over an inch of rain tomorrow.
That should pop out the rest of the frost in the hidden areas.

Afternoon all.

Dang J.V.A..
You get poisoned?
An ex mother inlaw's chicken cordon bleu did that to me once.
ONCE! l.o.l...
From then on you may surmise I avoided such a dish any where and declared it cordon bleeeh!

Stay better. Reads like a 24 hr. bug/disagreeable food or food related nastyness.
Did you wash your hands yesterday?(I'm kidding.)

Only thing I ate that no one else did was that day was a left over rib from a restaurant. Only from the day before. Worst food poisoning I've ever felt even worse than when I had a crocodile snapping turtle and when I was cleaning the tank got a face full of nasty turtle water made me sick pretty quick but this has felt much worse than that

 

[traveller777]

Yeah i have been getting msgs from Elvis... and i also think it may be an imposter :P

What type of detector does he use? I know the one Elvis preferred.

Have it Powder coated ? Three local companies that do it

Sand blast and powder coating.Stripper is just too messy and time consuming,sand blast gets it all the first time and right now too.Powder coat can be done so that it looks like real bronze unless you know otherwise.My two cents.
