Painting the Pulleys

The pulleys for the sash weights looked like this.

The original finish was a tan lacquer.  The lower sash pulleys were painted green.  I stripped the green paint off where the sash moves which includes the pulley.  I couldn't match the tan look of the original, so I decided to paint them both with black lacquer spray paint.  I removed them and used fast acting paint remover to clean the paint off the pulleys and a heat gun for the wood.  The screws are being replaced with shiny brass colored ones to match the fixture latches.  I made a holder out of cardboard so I could paint the edges that will show when installed.  The pulleys and the axles were masked off.  Here are some pictures of the process.

Here they are after installation.
