Is that a La Marzocco? If it is, leave it unpainted and polish it.
Oh, and perhaps get in contact with LM UK, they might be interested in picking up a bit of their history

No it's a La San Marco, if I ever scored a Marzocco lever machine I'd probably be able to retire.
Speaking of which, I'm going freelance; I'll still be roasting for Bella Barista but part-time on a contractor basis so I'll have 2 or 3 days a week to do other stuff if anyone needs me. I'll be setting up a cafe/roastery/restaurant in Northamptonshire. The ball is rolling but jesus wept it's hard work.

What do you reckon to this? This machine has brushed stainless panels which my mate polished up, it's quite a rare and desirable finish on these machines, most of them are painted. Those run marks are deep corrosion - i always prefer natural patina to restoration, but i'm not sure rat look is compatible with food service equipment so i might have to paint it. The other option is to stick a stripe over the ugly bit.
