I had this old pencil sharpener in my shop for years. When I moved in the house back in 05 I found it in the basment. It was screwed to a wall. It was just as it looks in the before pix. Dirty and greasy grimey looking. It is originally the suction base version. But someone removed it and drilled a few holes in it.
So, I scraped the paint off and sanded it down. Then primed it.
Then decided I should fill the holes. I used milliput 2 part epoxy putty to fill em in.
Then sanded that down and reprimed it.
I went with a semi gloss black to match the original base color.
I just need to wait till it's dry to finish putting it back together.
I cleaned up the sharpeners and it still works great.
