I started restoring my old Luddy marching snare last night. I thought it was a pre serial # Badge, because it had been painted over so thick I couldn't see a serial number. As it turned out, I removed the badge and dropped it in a lil paint stripper. I thought I would let it set for 30-60 minutes. I looked at it after about 5 minutes and the paint just slid right off of the badge. I rinsed it in the sink and It looks fabulous! I am trying to decide what color to wrap it in. Im looking for a wrap that could have been original in 1966 or very close.
Does anyone know anything about sparkling red pearl. That was available in 1966. Is it just a red sparkle? The inside of the drum had a haze of green paint in it too. According to what I have read on here I think it should be white. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
